Now where do you look for it?

I suppose you could try that large trunk.

outstanding thread. Very informative.

In the 'fridge???

Just follow the footprints.

In the 'fridge???

I'm going with "in the fridge" as well, because hidden anywhere else it will get warm and un-drinkable.

Behind the door?

The last place you look for it.

I've gotta come clean guys. Last night I had a "few" beers and a mate asked me to look after his elephant for him over the weekend. No problems I thought until this morning when I just couldn't find it, yes I looked in the trunk, there were no footprints in the butter and he didn't bring his pyjamas so no good looking for the "E".

I thought one of you guys would have been asked the question at a job interview and could give me a clue.

I did look behind the door but all there was were the usual collection of gorilla suits, Pizza Hut boxes and cuddly toys.

I'm lying on the bed now thinking about it and hope I can come up with an answer soon as the lightbulb is burning my ass.

did you check under your bed?

I don't think the elephant is under the bed as that's where I keep my fold flat home gym workout set I bought in 1986. It looked so good in the advert and when I got it home it fitted under the bed just as they said. Problem is I haven't been able to work up the strength to get it out again.

I found the TV remote in the microwave once, maybe you should try looking there.

I'll tell you what, Phil, I think you'd better describe it for us. After all, I was looking for Dumbo whereas Mushy and Sounders were searching for a stubby of Chang (or Carlsberg).

Turn your pockets inside out and spread the pocket-inners outwards, as flat as possible.

Undo your fly.

Flop out your old fella.

There's your elephant in the room.

Ah, but that's the '(inser colour here) Eared Elephant', depending on the colour of your pocket liners. If Phil had said, 'I've hidden my White Eared Elephant', I suspect that no-one here would have been too keen to help him find it.

Perhaps it's in your DVD/CD Player

touching. thankyou

Yes, thank you LK.

it is important to know what colour the elephant is!

In the Phone Booth ( making a trunk call )

Or cajoled into sitting with your wife and friends after their " spinning class" ( makes them look slimmer )

But the obvious answer is behind the sofa in the computer room ( scared of the mouse )

I think I've found it !

Brilliant

Whoa - wouldn't want to be off me trolley sitting in that room, with the elephant, martians & cross-dressers.

Hiding from the mouse...very good.

I wish my computer room was big enough to have a sofa!

Q: Why does an elephant have four feet?

A: Because ten inches isn't enough

This elephant has two 'trunks' (or, five legs...):

Or:

I've hidden the elephants boner in this pic...

Can you spot the enlarged member:

Can you miss it?

Q: How do you know when an elephant has its period?

A: There is a quarter on your dresser and your mattress is missing.

No wonder I couldn't find it, some joker has wallpapered the dang thing.

How do you hide an elephant in the office?

Stick a slice of bread in each ear and tell everyone it's your lunch.

The only time I rode on an elephant I asked the mahout,

"How do you get down from an elephant"

he replied

"You don't sir"

"You get down from a duck" !
