How Do You Get?

[Spoonboy]

I was hoping to come up with a good joke, but I cannot think of any; and nor any corny ones. So I have decided to ask one and see if anyone knows this answer...

...be careful though, as this one can go on, and on, and on.

Q: How do you get 15 elephants into a matchbox?

Many thanks in advance, spoony.

This is an easy 3 step process.

1. Find some really big matches that are approximately the size of an elephant.

2. Find the box the large matches came out of ( hopefully there will be more than 15 matches to a box).

3. Put the lady elephant in first and all the male elephants should follow.

Quite easy really! get one Matchbox, one pair of tweezers one big telescope and fifteen elephants: locate elephants using the telescope but looking through the wrong end of the telescope, whilst they are really tiny like this pick them up with your tweezers and drop them "carefully" into your matchbox!

Sorted!!

Sorry Quoi, your method is clearly flawed, with elephants, the matriarch is always female! the matriarch would need to go in first!!

Thank you both for playing. Ratter, you get best answer for the comedy aspect. But simple the answer is, of course, you take the matches out.
