That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 14, 2019

“You’re telling me my kid ordered him from Amazon?”

“If Jumbo takes one more step, I unleash the wrath of Fido!”

I don’t really care what his name is, but no elephants are allowed in my room.

“I’m sorry sir, I can’t give you the reward. That’s not my lost elephant”

“You’re right, this is indeed a pet park, but I tell you that you should collect your pet’s poop.”

“Besides the trunk, do you have any other baggage to check in?”

Service animal, my *!

“Oh yeah? O.K., give him a feather and let’s see him clear the gate!”

I don’t care if you’re from Elephants Without Borders, I need to see your passport.

No I haven’t seen a circus around here, do you see a circus anywhere around here?

“i done seen the cartoons on tellyvision and i done perused the comic books more than once and this here ellyphant ain’t babar…”

Hannibal Stopping to Ask for Directions

“Danged GOP pollsters showing up in person! Why can’t you just robocall me like the Democrats do?”

Here at the rodeo we use a different type of BULL. I reckin’ we can’t use ’em, pardner.

Ed was thinking maybe a door-to-door elephant salesman wasn’t such a good career choice.

What elephant?

The original “Excess Baggage” fee.

“An emotional support elephant? I ain’t falling for that!”

Sorry, we are unable to accommodate lost elephants at this pound.

The dog guy and the elephant guy are concerned – Little Bo Peep is late for the animal lovers meeting (and she is never late) – something must have happened

Joe was going to whip open his trench coat but realized he couldn’t measure up to an elephant.

“We’re here to fertilize your pasture.”

You do realize there’s a surcharge for the wide legs.

“Son, this habit of pickin’ up strays an’ bringin’ em home has got ter stop!”

When it comes to relieving stress/ and elephant’s fine, I guess/ but keepin ’im fed/ is a task owners dread/ and he leaves one helluva mess.

Get back inside before this Big Guy steps on you…

OK, you’ve convinced me that ‘Spot’ here is a special breed of African dog. But you haven’t proven that he has had all his shots. Access denied! SPOT’S OWNER: SIC ’EM SPOT!

Buster , when I said I wanted to tickle the ivories, I meant I wanted to learn to play the piano.

“Elephant? Naw. He’s a tapir with a glandular problem.”

“You advertised elephant rides. Well? Here’s my elephant. You want to cradle him or do a fireman’s carry?”

But he’s carrying all the peanuts, for the Republican Convention. Can we at least get a discount.

Reminds me of a book by Gerald Durrell, “Rosy is my relative”

This may be a trunk road but you’ll still have to pay.

The real question here isn’t whether or not I will pay the toll. It is, instead, whether or not you will keep your gate.

BTW: What is that bar at the end of the elephant’s tusks?

I ordered a thousind elepanhts. Are you telling me the rest is in back order?

Maryann just received her mail order play thing, hope it’s not too big for her.. she has seen bigger.

“No, sorry he’s not one of ours.”

“Ya sure?”

“Yes Davey.?This is an elephant, not a horse or a cow that we usually have here.”
