Well when you only get paid in peanuts maybe a few bananas what you expect TIT

I didn't realize there were so many elephants in the wild.  A herd of 50 would be quite a scary thing to encounter.

I'll say!!!!!    Scary as hell.   Waiting for them to break the door down or reach in through the roof.  Terrifying!!!
