Just got sent this joke (hopefully not a repost...)
-
I normally do not post jokes here, but I felt this one was worth sharing:
In 1986, Mikele Mebembe was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University.
On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised
in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Mikele approached it very carefully.He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood
deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Mikele worked the wood out
with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant
turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for
several tense moments. Mikele stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled.
Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Mikele never forgot
that elephant or the events of that day.Twenty years later, Mikele was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they
approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where
Mikele and his son Tapu were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Mikele, lifted its
front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then
trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.Remembering the encounter in 1986, Mikele couldn't help wondering if this was the same
elephant. Mikele summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way
into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Mikele's legs and slammed him
against the railing, killing him instantly... Probably wasn't the same elephant.Peace! OK... 1's - here I come... :)

That's a joke?
if you think turning sentimental glurges into something else is amusing it is, otherwise it's utterly pathetic. :laugh:

Lessee here... 1: The subject has the word "joke" in it 2: The message has the word "jokes" in it 3: At the time of this writing, it got a 4.3 from nine votes 4: Hell - it was even posted with the Joke/Game icon So... Given all those indications, do you really have to ask? (And just anyone does, let me clear it up for them using small words:
yes it is a joke. You do not have to get a joke for it to be a joke.) Peace!-=- James
