There must be an old elephant joke here somewhere…
How do you know elephants have been parachuting nearby?
Your entire neighbo(u)rhood has been flattened.
Sorry, but that joke fell flat.
One morning I flew an elephant in my pajamas… *flicks Groucho cigar*
This one time, at Band Camp, I put a flew in my elephant.
Good grief, first swine flu, now elephant flu?
it’s all from the chicken flue that made the flu flew.
I had heard it might mutate into the Wooly Mammoth Flu, but I guess that rumor’s extinct now.
Perhaps they’re really just cases of elephantiasis.
Now that’s a swell idea!
Your ghastly wordplay inflames my delicate sensibilities.
Then perhaps you should purchase inflammable delicates!
I once shot an elephant in my pajamas, why it was in my pajamas ill never know…
is it something about a trunk and flies?
Elephant flies have huge zippers.
Horseflies are bad enough, thank you. I don’t want to even see the elephant flies!
1. Get an elephant.
2. Get a helicopter.
3. safety
4. ???
5. Profit!!!
Where do the underpants fit into the scheme?
Do you think you can find underpants that fit an elephant?
Dom Deluise’s estate sale.
Post mortem WIN!
Smokey and the Bandit 2′s only win.
Dom was often funnier than the cast around him.
Come to think of it, when I’ve had a cast around me, I didn’t find it too funny, either.
Yet another good reason to stop getting plastered.
They are, actually, legion, but I was a particularly hard case.
Oh, give it a break, fellas…
If I do, it gets plastered again!
that’s elepants. but they can also use the parachutes
Dumbo eat your heart out
If you see a flying elephant’s shadow, don’t look up.
With 8 logographs (sinographs?) in the original, I’m thinking there’s more to this than we’re seeing in the English translation.
Reminds me of one of those badly translated foreign films with subtitles, where the character speaks five minutes and the subtitle says, “Yes.”
Catch 22: You can’t fly an elephant while your drunk, and they don’t fly when you’re sober.
you’re… I need a new keyboard.
Is your participle dangling in the way again?
It doesn’t bother my typing when it dangles.
No, Funny Doctor Boy, that’s her trunk.
That’s what happens if you type when you’re *elephant’s trunk.
*Rhyming slang.
your… your elephant’s drunk, too.
I can see you don’t understand rhyming slang. Google it sometime. It may take a while to get the hang of it, but it’s fun.
BTW my “you’re” was correct.
Boomerang, rhyming slang back at ya. I couldn’t match a 3 syllable rhyming adjective with the same cadence as elephant that would logically modify drunk. I also was working with ” ‘s” as “is” or possessive. When my elephant discovers a possible great drunk, it gets very possessive. My personal weapon is Spoonerisms. I naturally dist my twigits.
I spoon grokkerisms!
When it’s not dangling, it becomes a direct modifier. It directly modifies, and ignores “no” signs.
I DID NOT make this entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangling_participle
has an example of a Poodle Groomer with Non-participial modifiers. Mine participates when it modifies.
That’s reassuring, is there anything more annoying than an non-participial modifier? Lazy degenerate freeloaders, they are.
I think it says something like “For your safety, watch out for wild elephants”, or “Wild elephants can appear, so to be safe, be careful”. But I only read/speak Japanese, not Chinese, so this is based on a literal reading of the characters.
Yup. That’s correct translation.
Or something like:
Wild elephants are around, be careful of your own safety
Elephants fly Qantas?
kangaroos fly too?
Nah, in reality, it’s a big red rat on the tail of the planes, but don’t tell anyone.
I think you’re just telling rat tales.
SQUEAK
Have you all gone stark raven mad?
I have indeed been cravin’ stars madly.
I sometimes wish I had a sun.
I wanted a sun but got a daughter instead.
Dreadful Pun Hell fairy wants to clonk you with her wand until you see stars.
No need to be craven about it.
I always feel an acute sense of safety after all the elephants have flown off.
One less thing for the truly obsessive compulsive to worry about.
There are, unfortunately, never any fewer things for the truly obsessive compulsive to worry about.
NEWS FLASH***NEW FLASH***NEWS FLASH***NE
Flocks of elephants have been seen flying to the north. We urge all residents to stay INSIDE tonight, as the droppings may be very inconvenient.
Thank you for your attention.
I need to inspect my roof tomorrow after kiwifruit sized hail and elephant kiwifruit droppings.
*sings* “Animal crap is in my soup……”
“Dinner is full of critter poop…..”
Shirley you can’t be serious!
I am Sirius, and don’t call me Surely!
sirius you’re alive, why didn’t you tell me? =(
They don’t call it the Resurrection Stone for nothing. Now, let’s proceed through the Forbidden Forest.
Oh, intercourse these stupid books, you’re all grown up enough for Discworld novels now. They’re much better. Come on, first we look for the four great big elephants.
I believe they’ve flown.
Oh noes! Elephants pulling a wind!
You pull their nose and they push wind.
If they’re pushing wind you can bet I’m gonna be on the nose end!!!
Of course, we now know that if they were pulling a wind, they’d be fried in a crunchy coating, at least in Hungary. *tries to imagine dish large enough to coat an elephant in batter*
Ivory much doubt such dishes exist.
Solly, i was frying my elephant and missed the nest.
Are we frying it whole, or should I bring my stainless steel food-service chainsaw?
1 semi truck rescue tow truck with extending boom crane
1-16′ inflatable pool from wholesale club
1- 16′d x 20′ht stainless steel beer brewing tank with top cut open
3 cords hickory or oak firewood
35000 lb deep frying oil, preferably peanut
1000 lb Bisquik
75 gallons of milk
10 lb Season salt
10 lb Paprika
Do you batter with skin on or off?
Fly, flay, batter, fry (say that 3 times quickly)
Save the skin, we’ll fry up some rinds.
Just don’t fry them too long, or they might become rind stones.
It is pure engrish. The “l” of “flown” is supposed to be the “r” for “frown”.
i mean the “r” of “frown”.
