Jokes … are the best way to lighten up your heart and perk up any moment. A good joke is always good .. it doesn’t need to be dirty .. So here I was almost finishing up with the day when I stumbled upon some joke .. and he goes the theory about it … this is not my stuff and all credit goes to whomsoever penned it … good laugh is always appreciated…. A couple of my ongoing posts will wander around jokes .. especially mr Elephant…
“There are two types of joke which are called "elephant jokes": the elephant joke proper, and the joke which merely drags a poor elephant in by its tail against its wishes, generally because it is very big and for no other reason. Many jokes of the latter sort involve sexual themes and are often just not very funny. Proper elephant jokes, however, are of a different sort altogether. The elephants do not have to be dragged in, kicking and screaming, but they cooperate nicely because it suits their natural sense of humor. A true elephant joke does not depend on the size of the elephant for its laughs, but rather on a completely different logic which demands that the hearer either submit to the peculiar rules of the world of elephant jokes, or suffer the consequences of not "getting it". True elephant jokes are, therefore, very much like the Gospel itself. When judged by the normal rules of earthly logic, it makes no sense at all. Only the one who is willing to submerge him- or herself in it completely, who can experience and accept its totally alien assumptions about reality, is really going to get the fullness of the humor, the wisdom, and the splendor of the Good News of our redemption. Same with elephant jokes. Enjoy!”
