In Reply to: A Hanging.....Shooting an elephant posted by kaiz on October 21, 2002 at 21:04:09:
First, you have to shoot the elephant carefuly before hanging it.
As a rule, elephants dislike being hanged and they even resist our well-intentioned efforts. Once shot, though (every colonial oficer should know how to use gun - bungling the job could only amuse the natives!) - the single remaining difficulty is to obtain a crane.
Yessss, sir. Elephants are very troublesome.
