Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads
Then there are those of us who don't want to believe in drunken elephants but have had the idea of drunken elephants shoved down our throats since we were children. We recall those embarassing Monday morning show-and-tells in elementary school when the other kids would talk about how their moms and dads took them to see the drunken elephants on Sunday mornings. Of course, our moms and dads had taken us fishing so we had to lie and say that we had been in Orlando or Atlanta and had made a special point of going to the zoo to see the drunken elephants. It was a pretty safe lie since the chances were pretty darned slim that any other kid from the north side of Jacksonville would have actually been at the zoo in Orlando and would say "Gee! I was watching the drunken elephants in Orlando on Sunday and I don't remember seeing you there." .
