Ever heard the one about the three blind men examining an elephant?


Don't you think alluding to Three Blind Mice, however indirectly or
unintentionally, was just a little bit cruel and insensitive to all
elephants, everywhere?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_Men_and_an_Elephant
It was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind

(More from Wiki...)
Three blind elephants argue what a man looks like. The first one feels the
man with his leg, and says that the man is flat. The other elephants touch
the man as well, and agree.

I know what you're going to say - why then is it ok to have "three blind
elephants"? g
