Amazing

In 1972, Joe Miller was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Tulsa Junior College ..

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 Joe 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, Joe worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

The elephant turned to Joe, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments.Troy stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Joe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Thirty years later, Joe was walking through the Tulsa Zoo with His family. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Joe and his Family were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Joe, 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, Joe could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Joe 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 Joe 's legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn't the same elephant.

This is for everyone who sends me those heart-warming bull**** stories.

those 'cute' stories generally are fabrications created by females, for females and generally are forwarded 'female-to-female' so they all can feel the warm glow of a common lie.

I don't understand the whole 1972, then it's 30 years later, then it's 1986...

Is this a time tunnel deal?

P.S. Plus, an elephant at the Tulsa Zoo? I thought they replaced that exhibit with some lame-o multi-cultural Maasai Village thing.

Troy is obviously Joe's evil alter ego, Kipp.

I think that Gerbil's been grounded with no tv.

I'd be pissed too.

Maybe Troy stabbed the elephant with the stick...and maybe the elephant thought Joe was Troy...??

I think that Troy is Joe's nickname for his ****. His balls are Hector & Achilles.

Joe loved the Illiad.
