There was a guy who bought an elderly circus elephant. As he couldn’t afford to feed it, he started a contest. He had never seen an elephant jump with all 4 feet off the ground. Entry for the contest was 10 dollars, and the first person to get the elephant to jump with all 4 feet off the ground would get 50,000 dollars.

Many people tried, but nobody could get the elephant to jump. Finally, one little guy arrives. He’s carrying a baseball bat. He walks up to the elephant, swings the bat, and crunches the elephant’s balls pretty badly. Needless to say, the elephant jumps, and the owner pays out the 50,000 dollars.

The owner had barely collected enough to cover the prize, so he ran another contest. He’d never seen an elephant swing its head back and forth as if to say, “no”. The same as before, 10 dollars per entry and 50,000 dollars prize.

Lots of people try and fail. Then the little guy comes again, pulls out his bat, and walks up to the elephant.

He asks, “Remember me?”

The elephant nods yes. The man holds up his bat and says,

“Want me to use this again?”

The elephant nods his head rather emphatically “NO”.
