elephant parade

I read an elephant joke tonight.

My father told me this one when I was small:

Q: How do you catch an elephant?

A: First, you dig a really big hole. Then you put peanuts all around the edge of the hole. Then, when the elephant comes over to eat one of the peanuts, you kick him in the ash hole.

Funny guy, my father.

Tell me some elephant jokes. I need to giggle.
