Thai police seize 14 elephants with fake IDs
::reads article:: [Emily Litella] Never mind. [/EL]
I’m glad they check for ID. I heard crazy things happen in Thai bars.
Seriously, good. Thailand hasn’t always enforced its laws with regard to elephants and it’s nice to see their welfare taken seriously.
True story: There used to be a small open-air beerbar area on one corner of the Asoke intersection, a stone’s throw from the Soi Cowboy red-light area. I was sitting at one bar when this trunk came slithering over my shoulder. A mahout had snuck up on me with his elephant. Without missing a beat, I ordered a drink for the beast, but the lady staff behind the bar had all run away squealing. Ah well, he looked too young anyway.
What do elephants like? A glass of wine? A mai tai? Or does it depend on the elephant?
If elephants drink too much, do they see pink elephants?
Elephants like a bit of booze. The problem is what happens afterwards:
I’ve heard stories about elephants stopping lorries that are carrying booze on forest roads so they can get at the stuff, but I’m not sure how true these tails are. They probably have no trunk with the idea of strong liquor.
See what I did there? Huh? Huh?
Two elephants walk into a bar, which is too bad because it didn’t have insurance.
Depends if it’s an African or European … no, wait…
Something fruity, I would think.
All I know is a grape stepped on by an elephant lets out a little whine.
Beer, Carlsberg Beer.
Peanut Coladas, of course.
Or a nice banana daiquiri.
Elephant beer, of course
Or Chang beer. (With a high tone, chang means “elephant.”)
Whatever they want, I would suggest you find some. Like right now.
