TEN GRAND

Reggie owned an ellephant, but the cost of feeding it was getting out of hand. Then he got an idea. He had seen an elephant lift one leg, and even two legs. Once in a circus he'd even seen an elephant lift three legs in the air and stand just on one. So he announced to the world that he would pay ten grand to anyone who could make his elephant stand in the air on no legs. However in order to try each person must pay 100 dollars. People came from near and far. They tried everything from coaxing to hypnotism, but no one could make the elephant rise up in the air. Then one day a blue convertible drove up and a little man got out and asked " are you the one offering ten grand to anyone who can make this elephant stand on no legs?" Reggie replied "yes, but you've got to pay 100 dollars to try." The man handed Reggie a 100 dollar bill. Went to the back of his car and took out a metal club. Walked up the elephant, looked him in the eye. Then walked around to the back of the elephant swung hard, hitting th eelephant smack on the balls. The elephant let oput a roar and flew up in the air. The little man collected his money and went on about his merry way. Reggie was very depressed. He had only taken in 8000 dollars and now he'd only lost a couple of grand but still the problem of feeding and housing and housing the elephant. Then Reggie came up with another idea. He had never seen an elephant move his head from side to side. So again he announced that he would pay anyone who could make his elephant move his head from side to side ten grand, but you have to pay 100 dollars to try. Again people came from near and far paying 100 dollars, but of courser none succeeded. Just as thing started going well, a familiar blue convertible pulled up. And said to Reggie "are you offering ten grand to anyone who can make your elephant move his head from side to side?" Reggie replied "yes, but you've got to pay 100 dollars to try." THe man handed Reggie a 100 dollar bill, went to his car and took out his metal club. He walked up the the elephant."Do you remember me?" he asked. the elephant nodded by shaking his head up and down. "Do you want me to do it again?" The elephant quickly shook his head...no.
