I once shot an elephant in my pyjamas.
I dont usually wear them but on that particular night it was quite chilly.
Everyone is assuming it is a real elephant. Before answering the question, I'd need to know if it was an ACTUAL animal, or just a toy. Not that it would make any difference to the person's name, of course. I'd be more interested in an answer to the question 'Why has this man got an elephant on his head?'
Maybe he was carrying it home from a mammoth clearance sale!
Surely the insinuation is one of wishing to assist the man. On the assumption that he is beyond assistance, given that the over bearing weight has caused him to be deceased, I think such an action lends itself to offering false promise.
If he was alive I would try to coax the elephant off whilst asking someone else to call the ambulance.
I'm familiar with lots of these "What do call a man/woman with........?" The answer is usually the name of a person, like Russel, Annette, Doug etc. I know a few Ans, but I don't know anyone with the surname, Ambulance. This makes no sense whatsoever.
Is it possible to offer false promise to someone already deceased?
Why would there be an elephant at a mammoth sale?
Too right - I'd shoot it if was wearing my pyjamas.
What about a minutes silence before the Derby game for this poor sod crush by the elephant ?
RIP ..... crushed man under elephant.
