Elephant In Da Hood

"Lab Mice: Small Talk About Work"

Two mice met in the early nineteen-sixties, when
manned flights in orbit were as yet in the planning
stage. After the usual exchange of pleasantries,
one said, "But you look worn out, Michael. What's
the matter?"

Michael shrugged his little shoulders and said,
"Life isn't easy for us scientists, you know. I'm
in space research, and those experimental flights
in rockets, with the weightlessness and the
acceleration and the uncertainty of safe return --
Well, it's hard on one's nerves."

"In that case," said his friend, "why don't you quit
and take a job in some other line of work?"

"That's easy to say," said Michael, "but stop and
think - Is a job in cancer research any better?"

"Elephant In Da Hood"

There were two Welshmen, Dai & Yanto. They were
walking home from the pub and as they were walking
past Morgan's jewelry store, a car pulled up and out
got an Elephant.

The Elephant smashed the window of the jewelry store
with a brick. This set off the alarm in the local Police
station and a patrol car was dispatched to the scene,
meanwhile the Elephant sucked-up all the jewelry in its
trunk. The Elephant then got back in the car and drove
away at high speed.

Shortly afterwards a police patrol car pull up outside the
jewelry store where Dia & Yanto were standing amazed
at what they had seen.

The Policeman approached Dai & Yanto and asked if
they had seen what had happened.

"Yes" said Yanto, "A car pulled up and out jumped the
biggest Elephant I have ever seen. It smashed the
window, sucked-up the jewelry in its trunk and made
its getaway."

"I see" said the policeman. "Tell me, what kind of
Elephant was it?" asked the Policeman.

"What do you mean?" said Dai.

"Well, There are two types of Elephant. There is the African
elephant and the Indian elephant" said the Policeman.

"What is the difference?" asked Dai.

"Well", said the policeman, "the African elephant has
large ears and the Indian elephant has small ears."

"Ho!" Said Yanto, "we couldn't tell that, the elephant had
a stocking over it's head!"
