The word of inspiration on Inspire Me Thursday is “elephant”.
The first thing I thought of was a joke that I, unfortunately, couldn’t use. My second thought was the classic line by Grouch Marx (as Captain Jeffrey T. Spaulding in the 1930 classic Animal Crackers ): “One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don’t know.”
Groucho goes on to say: “Then we tried to remove the tusks. But they were embedded so firmly we couldn’t budge them.
Of course, in Alabama the Tuscaloosa, but that is entirely ir-elephant to what I was talking about.”

CLASSIC, I LOVE IT!
He also said, “Women should be obscene and not heard.” Entirely ir-elephant, but just thought I’d throw it out there.
Great illustration! Love it!
very entertaining!
Well, Art is Art, isn’t it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know.

For some reason, I’m reminded of the following jingle:
Hooray for Captain Spalding, the African explorer.
We heard he is a schnorrer.
Hooray, hooray, hooray.
