When I was a mere whipper-snapper, I remember going to the library and bringing home a book of elephant jokes. I sure do miss them. Does anyone have any elephant joke to share?
I will start off with two. The first is a classic from the vaudeville era which I did not get for a long time as a child...
Q: How do you get down off of an elephant?
A: You don't, you get down off a goose.
The second has always be a personal favorite...
Q: How can you tell if an elephant has been in your refrigerator?
A: Look for footprints in the butter.
I sure hope other people have elephant jokes to share, I really enjoy them.

I honestly don't get either one. Is this British humor? Can you explain goose and butter?
In the first joke the question uses the verb, down, giving the impression you are on the back of an elephant, and want to know how to get off of the elephant. The answer uses the noun down, the smaller soft feathers from geese used to stuff pillows, winter jackets, and high quality, extremely warm sleeping bags.
The second joke is just silly absurdity. An elephant would not fit in any refrigerator I have even seen, and elephant footprints in butter? Seriously?

It's technically a goose joke since the word elephant could be substituted for anything. We need a separate thread for geese jokes to keep this one on topic.

No so, the joke is often told with a duck replacing the goose. I prefer the goose version because geese have better down.
