Happy Elephant Appreciation Day!

By Miss Cellania in Animal on Sep 22, 2009 at 8:51 am


September 22nd is Elephant Appreciation Day, celebrated since 1996. The official website has many suggestions for ways to celebrate the holiday, but you can use your imagination to honor elephants in your own way. Tell elephant jokes, send an ecard, watch elephant videos on YouTube, or make a donation to one of the many organizations dedicated to the care and protection of the world’s largest land mammal.

    I appreciate happy elephants. Better by far than the grumpy sort.

    Do you know why elephants are so wrinkled?

    No? Well, have you ever tried to iron an elephant?

    What time is it when an elephant sits on your fence?

    Time to get a new fence! :P

    How do you catch an elephant ? You dig a pit 7 ft deep ,10 ft long and 8feet wide. You pour in a couple of feet of fine ashes. Then place a banana near the edge.Hide,and wait for an elephant to come along. When he bends over to take the banana,you rush out and kick him in the ash hole!
