Elephants never forget.
Hexenmeister
elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.
The elephant seems distressed so the man approaches very carefully.
He gets down on one knee and inspects the bottom of the elephant's foot
only to find a large thorn deeply imbedded.
As carefully and as gently as he can he removes the thorn and the elephant
gingerly puts its foot down.
The elephant turns to face the man and with a rather stern look on its
face, stares at him.
For a good ten minutes the man stands frozen - thinking of nothing else
but being trampled.
Eventually the elephant turns and walks away.
For years after the man often remembers and ponders the events of that day
...
One day the man is walking through the zoo with his son.
As they approach the elephant enclosure, one of the elephants
turns and walks over to where they are standing at the rail.
It stares at him and the man can't help wondering if this is the same
elephant.
The man climbs tentatively over the railing and makes his way into the
enclosure.
He walks right up to the elephant and stares back in wonder.
Suddenly the elephant wraps its trunk around one of the man's legs and
swings him wildly back and forth along the railing, instantly killing him.

Probably not the same elephant then.

This spammer extraordinaire would not have bugged us with this story
had he not been a resident of Hindhead, Surrey, British Empire.
He was called all kinds of names lately, even more than usual. So he
decided to have a personal revenge. A revenge so subtle no one would
even notice. It is so feudally eccentrically British, that nobody, I
say NOBODY shall figure it out, WHAH AH AH!!!
His elephant story is somewhat analogous to this other story:
"Androclus, a Roman slave, who lived about the time of Tiberius, is the
hero of a story told by Aulus Gellius. According to the tale, Androclus
had taken refuge from the cruelties of his master in a cave in Africa.
A lion entered the cave and showed Androclus his swollen paw. Upon
examination, Androclus found, and extracted, a large thorn, and dressed
the wound.
The grateful animal subsequently recognized Androclus when he had been
captured and thrown to the wild beasts in the circus, and, instead of
attacking him, began to caress him."
George Bernard Shaw wrote a play called "Androcles and the Lion" which
is based on this story.
Now, what does it have to do with Hindhead, Surrey, British Empire?
Androcles doesn't necessarily give a dam about Androclus, it's just
that he identifies with his locality which is the center of another
play written by George Bernard Shaw called "Misalliance":
"Misalliance takes place entirely on a single Saturday afternoon in the
conservatory of a large country house in Hindhead, Surrey in Victorian
era England. It is a continuation of some of the ideas on marriage that
he expressed in 1908 in his play, Getting Married. It was also a
continuation of some of his other ideas on Socialism, physical fitness,
the Life Force, and "The New Woman": i.e. women intent on escaping
Victorian standards of helplessness, passivity, stuffy propriety, and
non-involvement in politics or general affairs... Shaw subtitled his
play A Debate in One Sitting, and in the program of its first
presentation in l910 inserting this program note: "The debate takes
place at the house of John Tarleton of Hindhead, Surrey, on 31 May
1909. As the debate is a long one, the curtain will be lowered twice.
The audience is requested to excuse these interruptions, which are made
solely for its convenience...
Hypatia is the daughter of newly-wealthy John Tarleton who made his
fortune in the unglamorous but lucrative underwear business. She is fed
up with the stuffy conventions that surround her and with the
hyperactive talk of the men in her life. Hypatia is engaged to Bentley
Summerhays, an intellectually bright but physically and emotionally
underdeveloped aristocrat..."
How eccentric, Androcles! Or shall we say: how eccentric Jeeves!

Yet, the original comments still stand. Your web page is abysmal, your
understanding is at the level of village idiot and you do, actually, have a
serious personality problem.
I suspect you are actually about 15 years old.
(I notice you keep changing your identity slightly to escape various
people's kill files. Typical)
