As we all know Elephants are adept at hiding in custard & are
endangered by poachers.
Two unrelated facts (aside from involving elephants of course)
that has led our boffins at Skewed industries (in the cafeteria
over their custard dessert after several glasses of whisky last
tuesday) to
come up with a wonderful solution to the latter
problem.
Provide
more
bowls of custard for them to hide in, big ones.
Because they clearly don't have enough of them.
Or they wouldn't be endangered.
Which realisation led them to conclude (with much ooing &
ahing & a considerable amount of spilled custard, Caruthers
stood up rather too fast to shout 'Ulrika!', we still don't know
why
he did that) the two facts were not as had been
thought unrelated.
Please donate generously to Skewed industries environmental
projects division, a not for profit branch of Skewed inc.
universal holdings, & we promise to ensure at least 1% of
everything you donate goes towards really big bowls of custard
in the Serengeti!!!

Henry: You get on baiting those elephant traps.
Minnie: I don't see the point of them, you know.
Henry: What?
Minnie: We've never caught one.
Henry: That doesn't mean we must stop trying, Min of mine. Think of the dangers! Supposing you came down one morning for a cream-strainer, and found an elephant in the larder, eh?
Minnie: Well, I've never seen an elephant in the larder.
Henry: That is because they're hiding, Min of mine.
Minnie: Where do elephants hide? Tell me that! Where do elephants hide, buddy?
Henry: Well, I don't know, Saxophone-Min, but it's clear to me that they must hide somewhere. How else could they get away with it for so long?

Enormous custard-filled bun for [Skewed] and [8th] for together
creating the most well reasoned philosophical argument I've
come across for months. The last one I was hunting had just the
tiniest piece of premise poking out of the meringue where it was
hiding, so I couldn't be entirely sure of its solidity. |
|
| |
I am with [RayfordSteele], I think [8th] has pushed [TomP] into [Skewed] custard. At our current level, how can we be socially trained, or supported not to look? |
|
| |
By random violent beatings, of course. |
|
| |
We have it on the very best authority (a bloke down the pub)
that elephants hide in bowls of custard by lying
on their backs & painting the soles of their feet yellow. |
|
| |
They must be good at it because we've never seen
one. |
|
| |
Fiends, they are. Presumably with just the tip of the trunk poking up above the surface, so they can breathe ? |
|
| |
Some bowls of custard develop a very, very thick skin as they cool. NOW WE KNOW WHY ... |
|
| |
I wonder how long an elephant can hold it's breath? because I though elephants don't hide, they distance, hence the need for extra large bowls. |
|
| |
Oh, they're SO cunning. Their best trick is to hide in plain sight in crowded rooms. Very common at political meetings. |

Tinker --- Tailor ---- Soldier --- Sailor --- JEEEZUS! |
|
| |
Just put it on the side of your bowl, dear. |
|
| |
//JEEEZUS!// The skipping rope has got tangled again. A bit of custard, [bhumphrys] will slip right out. |
|
| |
Perhaps nothing could be better then custard as a lubricant? |
