x y zebra...There was a language competition some time ago....... An international committee wanted to find the language that would be best suited to writing. The finalists chosen were: England France Germany USA As they gathered in Geneva they were all asked to write about... hmm...ah yes!.... THE AFRICAN ELEPHANT...... Three weeks was the time limit. Two days early the Englishman presented his paper... "The Darwin Theory and the Evolution of the African Elephant" One day early (certainly not in the French style), the Frenchman presented his paper... "Love and Mating Habits of the African Elephant" Although he was three days early....he drove around the block for three days so he would be exactly on time...the German walked in and presented his paper: "How to Use the African Elephant in Warfare" BUT WHERE WAS THE AMERICAN???!!!! We will give one more day.... Rushing in, the American presented his paper... "How to Sell Ivory in a Declining Market" --------------------------------------------------------------------- Loki
