How the Wife Thinks
Husband's Message (by text):
"Darling, I got hit by a car outside the office.
Paula brought me to the hospital. They have
been doing tests and taking X-rays. The
blow to my head though very strong, should
not have any serious or lasting effect but, I have three broken ribs, a broken arm, a
compound fracture of the left leg and they
may have to amputate my right foot. Fingers
crossed!"
Wife's Response (by text):
"Who's Paula?"
****************************
In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in
Kenya after graduating from Louisiana State
University .
On a hike through the bush, he came across
a young bull elephant standing with one leg
raised in the air.
The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it.
As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter
worked the wood out with his knife, after
which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.
The elephant turned to face the man and
with a rather curious look on its face, stared
at him for several tense moments. Peter
stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but
being trampled. Eventually the elephant
trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away.
Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing.
The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then
trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the
man.
Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter
could not help wondering if this was the same elephant.
Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure.
He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.
The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.
Probably wasn't the same elephant.
