Would it be able to pick it up with its trunk though?

It depends on what the pillow was stuffed with. If it was stuffed with pumpkin, or hay, or carrots, then heck yea that elephant would chow down. If, on the other hand the pillow was stuffed with - DUCK DOWN!! wow! did you see that! that flying monkey almost sideswiped me!!

Unless the elephant was hiding in a tree disguised as cherries.

Reminds me of I first found SDMB some 3 yrs ago. I was so sick and tired about that dumb echo quack e-mail, I spent hours looking for negative proof. Finally, I found this place and the rebuttle it supplied.

Satisfied, but exhausted, and with quite a headache, I lay down in the dark, only to be shattered to awareness again by the doorbell.

I fling the door open and find no one is there! Gah! Spying a snail crawling across my porch, I pick it up and hurl it out into the yard. My rage thus spent, I went back inside.

Not but three minutes ago, I hear the doorbell chime. I open the door to find no one there. Except a snail.

“What the hell was _that_ all about!?” he complained.
