I am working many hours a day writing a serious book for 12 and up with an elephant metaphor. My chapter 8 seemed to need to begin with elephant jokes. (Or course they may get edited out but this is what is called a very bad first draft, there's no other kind.You just have to write something, anything, everything.) So I googled elephant jokes. It took me back to my childhood. Elephant jokes came into popularity in the early 1960s, when I was 8 or so. We were always telling them and making up new ones. They were huge! (pun intended) Enjoy these with the kids.

Who ever gets tired of hearing elephant jokes? Don't let Cami veto them!
Those jokes first appeared on the scene when I was in 6th grade, 1962. I bought the arrow book of "101 Elephant Jokes" from the book orders. I have been quoting them and laughing about their corny-ness ever since. Here's one:
How do you know if an elephant's in your fridge? You can see his footprints in the jello.
