Elephants are like people only bigger
What is big and gray and itches? Here are a couple of stories of elephants that had very human characteristics. Our first pachyderm friend had an itch. He was walking across the road and thought that little gray car looked like an interesting way to scratch his itches. In the clip below, the wild elephant is seen coming out on the road passing through a forest. Seconds later, the giant tusker is then seen rubbing itself against the vehicle. At first, it tries to climb on the tire of the car with one foot. After that, he attempts to sit on the four-wheeler’s hood and rub his butt. The tusker even climbs onto the car and descends while breaking the front as well as the side view mirror of the vehicle. The destruction caused to the car by the giant elephant is shown at the end of the video. One commenter jokingly wrote, “I’m imagining explaining this to the insurance company.” “How could anyone not believe that an elephant scratched it’s butt on their car? LOL.” Another offered, “The elephant is using the car as a toilet paper.”
Our second giant sized hero very humanly wanted to visit the folks in the hospital. The elephant is seen standing in the corridor for a little while without moving, trying to find the room to visit, while the amazed staff members take pictures. This is what happens when you don’t lock the door. Somebody call security. Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda tweeted a close-up shot of two wild elephants having an adventure inside the Binnaguri army camp hospital. Commenters on this video offered: “I think this happens when you occupy the elephant habitat and build there. It’s their land and they want it back.” Another asked, “Did anyone address the elephants in the room. Given it was a military base hospital a fourth user commented, “It was a surprise inspection to make sure everything is ready for big visitors.”
Scratching an itch
“Doc, I’ve got a sinus headache, an abscessed tooth, itchy eyes, and a canker sore.
What is wrong with me?”
Doc: “Well, I’ll be honest. I think it’s all in your head.”
There’s just something about the unreachable itch on my back that bothers me.
I can’t put my finger on it.
Would you rather be stomped on by a herd of elephants or an angry woman in high heels… At least the elephants you could reason with.
Why do you keep scratching yourself?
Because I’m the only one who knows where it itches.
