Comment from Brett Matthew West

Excellent

In L2, the word "cant" on first read through tends to mislead the reader into thinking the word should be "can't" as in can not. L4 clarifies the word. Would be funny to see an elephant leaning over. Wouldn't want all that weight to come crashing down on top of me though! Touch of humor thrown into this for good measure. Good expression - "rebuffed pachyderm". Lame - joke. (But, hey, aren't all elephant jokes supposed to be lame?)

Thanks, Brett. How do you get an elephant up an oak tree? Set him on an acorn and wait twenty years.

What is stronger, an elephant or a snail?
A snail because a snail carries its house. An elephant only carries its trunk.

Okay. Wouldn't this joke apply to a lot of animals? Besides, elephants don't have hands. Besides-besides, elephants can stand on three legs for a "handshake." (I've seen more than that at a circus. (Okay, I'm finished giving you a hard time.)

Cute...er...joke? LOL

Thank you for reviewing. I am amazed at the elephant joke deficiency that exists in the modern world. Why do elephants paint their toenails red? To hide in cherry trees. How do you get an elephant up an oak tree? Sit him on an acorn and wait twenty years. Why do elephants drink? They want to forget. Happy days!

I like your joke.
I love elephant jokes as well.
My problem is remembering them so I can tell them again.
If I was an elephant I probably would remember.

Elephant jokes are supposed to be inane. How do you get an elephant up an oak tree? Set him on an acorn and wait twenty years. Thanks for reviewing.

welcome don't get that one, does the acorn grow

Comment from wordsareus

Good

I'm not sure this can be categorized as a script, but it is humorous. 'Can't' should have an apostrophe in line two and line four.

Cant means to lean. That's why its 'funny'. Thanks.

Bill,

Okay, it is a lame elephant joke, but someone has to do it. I like your tagline -- rebuffed pachyderm. Nice artwork to go along with your joke.
