Hey, how can you tell when an elephant is having her period?
There’s a quarter on your nightstand, and your mattress is gone!
Why do ducks have webbed feet?
To stamp out forest fires!
Why do elephants have flat feet?
To stamp out flaming ducks!
Why do elephants put springs on their feet?
So they can jump up into the trees and rape monkeys!
Why should you never go into the jungle between 2 and 4 in the afternoon?
Because that’s when the elephants are jumping out of the trees!
Why are pygmies so short?
They went into the jungle between 2 and 4 in the afternoon!
Apparently Siberia is lousy with mammoth remains, and during the summer thaw the locals scour the tundra for tusks. I own a guitar pick made of mammoth ivory.
It occurs to me that elephants could be farmed/ranched for ivory. After all, an elephant in captivity does not really need its tusks. But I don’t know if it would be economical, elephants eat a lot.
Of course, after you extract the fully-grown tusks, you can kill the elephant and sell the meat! Win-win! 
Heh, sequel to Sharknado: Elephantcane!
Not to derail the pitting, but is elephant meat actually any good/what does it taste like?
Smells like hippo, tastes like rhino.
I dunno, but I’ve seen pix in National Geographic of pygmies butchering elephants for meat. And Kalahari bushmen, in The Gods Must Be Crazy 2. In that story, the bushmen come across one a poacher has just killed, and call a neighboring tribe to help them eat it. “The Heavy People had done a senseless thing as usual. They had taken the useless tusks, and left all the valuable meat!”
Of course, hunter-gatherers have to get used to eating anything edible that they can kill or find, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s any good.
