How to drive an elephant

Tickle behind left ear - go right. Tickle right - go left. Tickle both ears, go ahead. You need to read Joel's manual! I can just picture him driving this red Italian elephant ...

Thanks for the link. There is a lot more to driving an elephant than I explained - not only does one need a good sense of balance, but also command of Hindi, a metal hook, a stick and both feet. There are more than forty commands including 'life that log' and 'crush that tree'. Clever things, elephants.

It would only be a blue German elephant though, nothing fancy and Italian.

Well, since I don't have any of that, I'll have to stick to my red English cat then. And since it's an automatic cat, I can drive it with just one foot, too, even though I shall have to make do without lifting logs. Not sure whether I want to try out the crushing trees feature ...

As to German elephants (ever seen a Maybach?) - don't tell me: Vorsprung durch Technik? ;-)
