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?


That's just the kind of ******* I am.

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.


Bawhahwhahhahhwhahwhahw!

Very good.

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


I wasn't. I'm actually OK with that concept.
