There was an old Construction Superintendent who lived in Arkansas and hadn’t been exposed to much beyond his little town. One day, he was out with his crew, framing a building on the edge of town, and saw the strangest thing in his entire life. He saw an elephant come walking down the street and go into cabbage field next to his jobsite.

This old Super just stood and watched this elephant in the cabbage field. As I said, he hadn’t been much for education and had never seen an elephant before, never even seen a picture of one.

Turns out the circus was coming through the town and one of the elephants escaped from a wagon. The sheriff came walking onto the jobsite and asked the old Super about the elephant. The old man replied, “I never seen anything like it. That critter keeps pulling up the cabbage with its tail.”

The sheriff said, “What? Pulled them up with his tail? What did he do with them?

The old Super replied, “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you!”
