Nice one Chad - just what I needed on POETS day

I got 1 correct

[Luddite]

Three correct (1,3,&4).

Does that make me a pre-schooler (whatever that is)?

[Techno]

Hang on.....
If the fridge is big enough to hold a giraffe, couldn't it be big enough to hold the hefferlump at the same time ?
And as far as getting over the river is concerned, what happens if you can't swim ?
Can I take the hefferlump out of the fridge and ride it across ? 

Have a good weekend guys!

Cheers - Phil

Nice one Phil.

Obviously not.

And as far as getting over the river is concerned, what happens if you can't swim ?

You can.

Can I take the hefferlump out of the fridge and ride it across ? 

No.  Obviously.

[Techno]

'Scuse me !

I've put a hefferlump in my fridge and there was still loads of room.
(Fair do's..it was the Carthaginian elephant that went in to slow down the green stuff going off !)

Swimming ?....Well I can't.....except downwards.

'Spose you're about the elephant....It's too small (Cue Lemmy .)

Cheers - Phil.

Oh - was that my que! 

How do you tell there's an elephant in the fridge?


Footprints in the butter!

BTW: I got them all - but I am a Primary Teacher!


p.s. Why do elephants walk in butter - so they can hide upside down in custard...


pps What's yellow and dangerous? 

[fred.]

What's yellow and dangerous? 

Shark infested custard

Got all the giraffe questions wrong. they assume you know nothing, and then assume that each is sequential from the last, rather than independent.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

So, where are all the elephants?

[Leon]

So, where are all the elephants?

Have you checked your fridge?   

[Techno]

Have you checked your fridge?   

Yes and it's not in there any more....You've got it !
(And I am NOT making a blanking giraffe ! )

Cheers - Phil.
