Elephant Robbery
A jeweller called the police station to report a robbery.
"You'll never believe what happened, Sergeant. A truck backed up to my
store, the doors opened and an elephant came out. He broke my plate
glass window, stuck his trunk in, sucked up all the jewelry and
climbed back into the truck. The doors closed and the truck pulled
away."
The desk sergeant said, "Could you tell me, for identification
purposes, whether it was an Indian elephant or an African elephant?"
"What's the difference?" asked the jeweller.
"Well," said the sergeant, an African elephant has great big ears and
an Indian elephant has little ears."
"Come to think of it, I couldn't see his ears," said the jeweller. "He
had a stocking over his head."
