Escaped elephant

[Guest palexxxx]

An elephant had escaped from the circus and all of the performers, trainers, etc. were out looking for him without success. A woman from Tasmania who had never seen an elephant before (since there are no elephants in Tasmania) saw the animal in her back yard. Frightened by its size she called the police. "HELP HELP There's this strange animal in my yard! You have to come get it!" The dispatcher said "Calm down, what kind of animal is it (thinking its a wallaby, possum, etc.)?" "I don't know what it is, I never saw anything like it before." The dispatcher says "Well can you describe it to me?" She replies, "Well its big, its grey and it has two tails!" The confused cop then asks "What is it doing?" The lady says "With one of its tails, its picking cabbages out of my garden." The cop then says "What is it doing with your cabbages?" The lady says "You wouldn't believe me if I told you!"
