Which Room Would You Put The Elephant In?
Submitted by Doug Evans on Mon, 03/09/2009 - 11:55
This is a political exercise intended to stretch your mind. Anyone know the answer?
One day you walk into your living room to find an elephant sitting on your couch, smokin one of yer fine cigars. You call your wife over to inform her, sayin, "Honey we have a guest." She replies, I think we should put him in the bedroom, for he looks sleepy. Your daughter says, no, put him in the kitchen, because he looks hungry. Your son says, no, put him in the bathroom -quick- cause it looks like he's gotta go. The other daughter says, I think we should put him in the library, because elephants are smart. You (the father) says I think he should be in the bar, cause I need a drink .............
There's more rooms to pick from. Which room would you put the elephant in and why?
Answer To: Which Room Would You Put The Elephant In?
This is common language the talking-head-spin-masters use on us daily. The answer is two fold.
A1) What's an elephant doing in your house? Get em out of your house before he wrecks the place!
A2) Notice how the wording has misdirected everyone to talk about what room to put the elephant in, not taking care of the actual problem by just putting him outside. Thats how the political talking heads talk to us everyday, i.e. redirecting or advance the conversation so we do not take the logical train-of-thought or steps that are needed to formulate a proper, thought-through opinion. THIS IS HOW THEY KEEP ADVANCING ILLEGITIMATE AGENDAS.
When the common answer was right before our eyes, we listen to the endless-circle jerk talk called, Obamalintonese, we get dizzy, and continue on with the train of thought they plant into our heads. When it comes to these folk (The Obamalintonese), if they can't answer a simple yes or no question and give ya the circle-jerk response, it's nearly always because they got us discussing which room to put the elephant in.
Put him on a scale
if he complains then you know his name is RUSH LIMBAUGH. Does it have a chip that would lead authorities to my house? LOL
I don't know the elephants name............
But if he tries to get you to believe that "NAFTA's good for America," ya got Limblah pegged.
i would
i would ask him what he wants, instead of foolishly guessing.
hey, he's smocking a cigar, sitting on a couch, why cant he talk too?
He probably wouldn't mind...........
A little brandy to go with the ciggy too.
and no, i would not
kick him out.
remember, he is a guest, that would be rude.
since he was described in a cartoonish way, i assume him to be cartoonish.
HA!
I'm glad you have respect for elephants. Good point.
Thats the point..............
Don't guess, THINK. This is an excercise on how politicians redirect conversation and THINKING. It is about how they short cirtuit the logical thought process. It is about how they jump in plans from A to K or L or Z. This is critical to know.
i understand
what you are saying, i just looked at it much differently.
Why....
do I have to put an elephant in a room? The elephant must go. We might have to take a wall down. Otherwise he will destroy the whole house. It's the same with donkeys.
Ya got it correct, but..........
There's more to it. The answer is two fold. See my post below, "The answer to,"
This Elephants soooo big
when it sits around the house, it sits AROUND the house.

woo hoo!
Your first mistake was to inform your wife...
Just shoot him and eat him before the family see him.
I may not know the truth, but I know when I'm being lied to...

Re: Your first mistake..............
That waz good, Funny. But I don't know how to prepare elephant. Don't have a big enough freezer either.
I have a huge collection of cook books
and I used to have a really good recipe...but, alas, I cannot locate it.
So, this one will have to suffice:
How To Cook an Elephant
by Alexandre Dumas
From the Dictionary of Cuisine by the great Alexandre Dumas
"ELEPHANT: Let the reader be unafraid. He is not condemned to eat a whole elephant. But next time he finds himself in possession of the trunk or feet of an elephant, we ask him to prepare them as we shall indicate, and let us know how he likes them.
"Today Cochin China is probably the only country where elephants are eaten, and their flesh is considered a great delicacy there. When the king has one killed for his table, he sends pieces to his grandees as a mark of special favor. But the parts that are most esteeemed are the trunk and feet. Levaillant says that they make an exquisite dish. 'The broiled feet,' he adds, 'are a dish for a king. I could not have imagined that so heavy an animal could provide so delicate a dish. I gobbled up my elephant's foot without bread!'
"We are indebted for the following recipe to M. Duglerez of the House of Rothschild:
"Take 1 or more feet of young elephant, skin them, and bone them after soaking in warm water for 4 hours. Cut them into 4 pieces lengthwise and one across. Parboil for 15 minutes. Dip in fresh water and dry with a cloth.
"On the bottom of a heavy pan with a tight lid put two slices of Bayonne ham, then your pieces of elephant foot, then 4 onions, a head of garlic, some Indian aromatic spices, 1/2 a bottle of Madeira, and 3 ladlefuls of bouillon. Cover tightly and simmer for ten hours. Remove the fat. Add one glass of port and 50 little green pimentos blanched in boiling water to preserve their color.
"The sauce should be well flavored and very sharp."
******
For the balance, buy a bigger freezer, or share with neighbors.

Doug, you have this technique down pat!
I'll bet you could get a high paying job in the federal government, or become a politician!
I have attended many "Elephant in the Room' Fed or State Gov comment sessions and they do just that! They have a 'Facilitator' to direct the comments in a certain direction, give 'choices' (sometimes the choices aren't even following their own rules).
Another technique is to break up the roomful of people into separate little areas to comment, because they want everyone to feel alone in their objections, and they certainly don't want some well-spoken commenter causing clapping, etc. to inflame the masses at the meeting and sabotage the 'debate'!
There are quite a few ways to defuse their techniques, such as refusing to sit in a circle, sit BEHIND the facilitator (makes them very nervous) and refuse to break up into their cute little comment groups!
Re: Doug, you have............
Yep, I know what your saying. In my neck of the woods, they are using these techniques on us to PUT METERS ON OUR OWN WELLS! Probably doin it where your at too?
Not that I know of----yet----
But if it is happening there, it will come here.
One memorable meeting was when the DEQ came to our remote area--to discuss the measures to take to 'clean up' our river. (He was talking about the high mountain pristine stream running through our valley) The city of Portland runs raw sewage in the Willamette river each time it rains, and it rains often. We made the DEQ guy admit this, and then we told him to go back to Portland and fix the Portland sewer system.
They wanted us to sit in a circle, and we said we didn't DO circles. One friend sat slightly behind DEQ guy and made him nervous. We were not being threatening, but we wouldn't discuss what room to put the elephant in.
During The Primary Season....
... Ron Paul was the "Elephant In The Room" of the Republican Party. Here's a link to a story from August 2007 that some of you will remember.
But Right Now...
... the elephant in the room is the federal government, and the states are trying to figure out a way to kick it out and assert sovereignty. You go states - tell that pachyderm to pack its bags and get lost!
The elephant is the republican
mascot so he is full of sh** so put him in the bathroom or throw him out at least until he gets his bowels under control and stops spewing crap, wakes up, sobers up, then take him to the library and educate him. Or put him in a cage and get a new species of animal that is more intelligent and less messy, does't eat so much and isn't so large and can't do so much damage if it gets out of control. and put it in the white house.
Re: The elephant is the republican
Very well said, "The elephant is the republican mascot so he is full of sh**............"
This statement alone qualify's Tuma and your comments as being very intuative. But unfortunately not really associated to this quiz.
I'd put him in the mudroom
to await pickup of the "trunk" by the big brown truck so he can be returned to the African plains or the jungles of Asia where he belongs.
Out, out durned republican and take your trunk with you.
If I were feeling so socialable, I'd put him in the parlour with the rest of the "leather" and a few good tomes of Hemingway and famous hunters.
Alpacas - IT'S DOABLE
Getting Hot............
Chonk and mwiegand are tied for first place. So this is a hint to all. It is definantly about GETTING THE ELEPHANT OUT OF THE HOUSE, cause it has no reason to be in your house. This is also a course on language control. Can someone clairify the language issue here?
Ummm- - - Throw the tv out and the elephant?
I am no good at riddles or brain teasers.
Well..........
It was an answer I haven't heard before............... Goodun.
bar?
Just said "You (the father) says I think he should be in the bar, cause I need a drink..."
So, apparently, I picked the bar because I need a drink.
But inside, I'm wondering how he got in the house and if I can take him back out the same way. Other than that, might have to chop him up into smaller peices to fit through any doorways.... and if I do that, probably keep him in the kitchen with the freezer for later consumption. Make some boots or something.
If the elephant's supposed to represent something, then what does it represent? and I'll find a spot for it depending...
If it's a Pink elephant, then I have a repellant spray for that to keep away global warming, terrorists, and flying tigers. It really works cause I haven't had any pink elephants, global warming, terrorists, or flying tigers Near me!
Oh Come On.............
Can't someone answer this? This is important.
And if we can't answer this question, it will go to illustrate how the spin-master-talking-heads keep pullin the wool over our eyes everyday. Come on.......... Think!
Elephant?
they are amazing

Wow
That's a smart elephant! I'd like to see him performing as a one man band.
I'd park
it in the garage so I wouldn't have to look at it.
What Elephant???
I don't see an Elephant!
His name is Harvey.
His name is Harvey.
The new is the Daily Paul.
Not to be confused with the elephant "Harvey Dent".
The left side of his face is a donkey.

I didn't watch that movie, but I know what it is about!
LOL!
He didn't get to your house yet?
He didn't get to your house yet? Your lucky! Cause, when someone answers this question correctly, you will know how to handle him when he gets there............
Until then, get lots of peanuts.
In the closet --
That is where I store all my trunks.
And the added benefit would be he would have the company of fellow Republicans, Mark Foley, Ted Haggard, Larry Craig, Bob Allen, and Glenn Murphy, Jr. who have also been in the closet.
wow!
Sounds like your closet is bigger than Ophra's.
About the same size.
If Oprah could fit in a closet so could an elephant.
Or at least Oprah's ego.
Her swelled egocentric celebrity head is practically a gravitational body.

Take him out for the drink
Take him out for the drink and get him to open up. If necessary, call your friends and tell them to wait outside with a few baseball bats.
