The Amazing Elephant
C e r b e r u s - T h e - D o g - O f - H e l l
circus. While there, he saw a man with an
elephant act. The man claimed the elephant
could look at a person and tell that person's
age.
The Irishman was very sceptical and said so,
in no uncertain terms.
The man had the elephant look at a small boy
and the elephant stamped its foot 9 times.
"Is that right?" he asked the boy.
"Yes, I'm nine!" the boy said.
The Irishman continued his loud heckling, still
not believing that this was true. The man asked
the elephant to tell the ages of several other
people, and each time the elephant stamped his
foot and the people said he was correct.
The Irishman got even louder and more abusive
toward the man. Finally the man could take it
no longer and wagered the Irishman that the
elephant could look at him and tell him his
age. The Irishman took him up on the wager.
The elephant looked real close at the Irishman,
turned around, raised his tail and cut wind
like you wouldn't believe. Then he turned back
around, knocked the Irishman to the ground with
his trunk and then stomped on him twice.
The Irishman, crumpled and bleeding, staggered
back to his feet and with a sound of disbelief
in his voice cried,
"Mother of Mary, he's right!...Farty-two!"

>The way I heard the joke it was a Londoner many years ago,
1) Well, Jim, this didn't actually happen, you see.
2) If it did, your version wouldn't work because no London accent pronounces
"farty" to sound like "forty".

he probably read a re-write, and didn't understand it then either...
JG
Ahh.
You mean like those re-writes they get in rec.humor.jewish where they take a
joke from r.h and change "a man" to Himie and "a woman" to Sophie, and, hey
presto, jewish humor. Not.
