I love elephant jokes, as I’ve said before.

Anyone have any new ones? Or at least, ones that haven’t been posted in the comments here before?

12 Comments

  1. Q. Where does a 15,000 pound bull elephant sit?
    A. Anywhere it wants to.
    ——–
    Q. Why did the elephant wear blue sneakers?
    A. Because its red ones were in the wash.

    (This segues into one you already have, sort of – “Why did the elephant wear red sneakers? To hide in a strawberry patch. Have you ever seen an elephant in a strawberry patch? No. See how good it works!”)
    ———
    Q. How do you know there’s an elephant in the refrigerator?
    A. The door won’t close.
    (Again – you have a variation of the followup – “How do you know when an elephant has been in your refrigerator? Footprints in the butter.”)
    ———
    My personal favorite is still the one about “Why do elephants have flat feet? To stamp out burning ducks.”

  2. No, no, no – they don’t wear red sneakers to hide in strawberry patches.

    To hide in strawberry patches, they wear red nail polish.

  8. No, they don’t paint their toenails red to hide in strawberry patches. They do it to hide in cherry trees.
