I have a newspaper clipping that I have saved for thirty years, (one of those tiny fillers that papers use to use dead space at the bottom of a column)....it says, in its entirety:

Calcutta, India, JulyXX...
   "An elephant hauling logs on the Nangaparbatam River went wild yesterday and trampled a man to death. Then it returned to its work."

-----Oh, great!glad to hear the elephant is ok and keeping busy ..and the man? his family? what did he do to the elephant?

I swear I laughed until I hurt...then I took that newspaper and drove around to friends houses showing THEM the article and asking if THEY dodn't want to laugh, too. A few chuckled.

So, 'spaw, I would have laughed right along with you, as that sort of jaw-dropping relational juxtipositioning of incongruous elements totally flummoxes me.

Let's you & me get some booze and take her on tour. I'm SURE paying audiences would ease the sting of being laughed at....;>))
