How to Avoid Being Charged by an Elephant

I recently sent out my newsletter with the email heading of 'What to do if Charged by an Elephant'.  I never realised how many jokers there were out there!  Admittedly I did send the email with the hope of a few amusing replies but the response was astounding.

"Lawyers answer: refuse to pay! Or outrun everyone else."
"What happens if I am charged by my bank manager?"
"Great advice! Before reading this if I'd been charged by an elephant I would probably just have paid him rather than standing my ground. I might have tried haggling a bit to bring the price down but I would never have thought of playing dead. Do they take credit cards or just cash?"
"I would call Jenny 'Lara Croft' Bowen from my sat phone."

The list was endless and very amusing and it brought a very large smile to my face each time I opened my e-mails up.

When you get it right, it doesn't take much to make someone smile.

And for your information, I don't carry a small mouse around in my pocket to deter charging elephants, that would just be ridiculous........

  1. Well I certainly know who I would want to be with if I was in that situation. Do you think if I had a mouse in my pocket it would help me when I go to business meetings?
