Elephant meets a mouse for the first time.

[Boringgeoff]

An elephant was strolling along a jungle track when he met a mouse. "Cripes you're tiny what the heck are you?" asked the elephant. "I'm a mouse" replied the mouse. " But why are you so flamin' small?" asked the elephant. "I've not been very well lately." said the mouse.
Cheers,
Geoff.

OK, I'll be the one. . . .

There have been over 135 views and not one wise crack.

I don't know if it is the subtleties of our common language or I'm just thick.

Somebody please explain this one to me.

No you're not thick Rich & TT, but I'm going to show my thickness trying to give you an understandable answer.
Because of illness the mouse had lost a lot (by mouse standards) of weight and thought that that was what the elephant was referring to when he asked him why he was so small.
Cheers,
Geoff.

I would never have worked that out!!!

[Twisted Tenon]

I get it now. Very subtle. That is a joke that needs to be spoken :2tsup:

[rrich]

Exceptionally subtle.

Reminds me of the time a grasshopper hopped into a bar and jumped up on a bar stool. The bartender leaned over to him and said, we've got a drink named after you. The grasshopper said wot, Kevin?

But the confusion come from
"Elephant meets a mouse for the first time."
