Default An Amazing Story...


In 1986, Dan Harrison was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from
Northwestern University. On a hike through t he bush, he came across a young
bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed
distressed, so Dan approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee and
inspected the elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood deeply
embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Dan worked the wood
out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its
foot.

The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its
face, stared at him for several tense moments. Dan stood frozen, thinking of
nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly,
turned, and walked away. Dan never forgot that elephant or the events of
that day.

Twenty years later, Dan was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenage
son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned
and walked over to near where Dan and his son Dan Jr. were standing. The
large bull elephant stared at Dan, lifted its front foot off the ground, and
then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly,
all the while staring at the man. Remembering the encounter in 1986, Dan
couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant. Dan summoned up his
courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He
walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant
trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Dan's legs and slammed him
against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn't the same elephant.

Mother nature gave us a big brane so we could make fire to
compensate for the lack of razor sharp incisiors.

Brane also good for making BBQ sauce.

Budweiser BBQ Sauce... Best I've ever had. I look for excuses to use it. I
could drink the stuff.
