haven't heard these since grade school.
Ok, that's gold. Thank you
I always head this as:
How does an elephant hide in a cherry tree?
It paints its toenails red. You've never seen one? That's because it works.
And I know this joke as:
Do you know why are elephants' eyes red?
(why?)
So that they can hide in cranberry trees
(I've never seen an elephant in a cranberry tree)
That's because it hid so well
But cranberries don't grow on trees.
Lately, I was in a train. Across me, there is this man who keeps peeilng oranges, throwing black pepper on them and throwing them out of the window. After some time, my curiosity gets the best of me, so I ask him why he is throwing peppered oranges out of the train window. "Why sir?", he says, "To keep the elephants away of course". I replied that there are no elephants around, to which he says: "so it works!"
It works with snakes too... June 2: Yell “Fudge” at the Cobras in North America Day
(There are no true cobras in North America so yelling “fudge” must work!)
I thought it was going to be "they blend in with all the trunks" or similar
