I always wondered how many Poles it took to kill an elephant. Now I may never know.

This is screaming for a Polish joke (of which I am a member).

If he can demonstrate that the safari company knowingly took him to an area they were aware had no elephants, he has a legitimate case.

Of course, proving that is going to be virtually impossible without an informant inside the tour company.

The company, Jaworski Jagdreisen

That's German for "Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe: Purveyors of Fine Elephants to Polish Kings".


Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

He should have gone RINO hunting instead.

If a political party promises to provide me with real elephants (i.e. Reagan Republicans) to support, and then provides only Rhinceros after Rhinoceros, do I have grounds to sue?

Reminds me of a true story: Two Polish guys are out fishing in a rented boat. They fish all day long with no results. Then, about 30 minutes before the boat is due back, they hit a big school of fish. Stashew tells his buddy Antoniusz “Hey Anto, do something to mark this spot so when we come back tomorrow we can catch more fish.” They then take the boat back and as they are driving home, Stash says to Anto “What did you do to mark that great fishing spot?” Anto says “I painted a big arrow on the front of the boat pointing to that spot.” Stash thinks about it and then says “Anto, you stupid idiot - what happens tomorrow if we don’t get the same boat?” True story.

“I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don’t know. Later on I shot two bucks. That was the biggest game I shot all day.’’- Groucho Marx.

The rest of the story clipped:

"From what I know, (the hunter) should have seen elephant excrement there," it quoted the company owner as saying.
Even though the company organised a second trip for the luckless hunter during which he managed to kill a male elephant, the man still filed for damages worth $130,000 over his first expedition.
A court is due to rule on his claim on February 15, the paper said.

Talking paper?
