Elephant Heist
A jeweler
watched as a huge truck pulled up in front of his store. The back came down and an
elephant walked out. It broke one of the windows with its tusk and then, using its trunk
like a vacuum cleaner sucked up all of the jewelry. The elephant then got back in the
truck and it disappeared out of sight.
When the jeweler finally regained his senses he called the police. The detectives came and
he told them his story.
“Could you describe the elephant?” the cop asked.
“An elephant is an elephant,” he replied.
“You've seen
one you've seen them all. What do you mean 'describe' him?”
“Well,” said the policeman,
“there are
two types of elephants, African and Indian. The Indian elephant has smaller ears
and is not as large as the African elephant.”
“I can't help you out,” said the frustrated jeweler,
“he had a
stocking pulled over his head.”
