Talk about taking a pocket knife to gun fight.

Or more like taking a pocket knife to a tank battle.

Beware the elephant with only one tusk, she probably knows how to use it...

A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"

A PH I once had the privilege of hunting with (Kirk Mason), told me a story of how an elephant came charging out of the bush, as he was driving down a track. The ellie chased him for almost 2 kilometers and at times he reached speeds of 30 kmh as he tried to navigate a rough road while being chased by an extremely irate ellie!

A person on foot would have been turned into goo.


Hunting buff is better than sex!

There is nothing, repeat nothing, as powerful as an elephant in the bush.

In Matetsi once we shot an impala, and were dressing him when we saw a large bull elephant a few hundred yards away on the side of a hill.

He was playing with a lone big tree.

It was quite fascinating to watch, as he was pushing it with his forehead, then with his knees, then forehead and so on.

It wasn't long before we could see that the tree was getting loose.

We stayed and watched, until he toppled over!

This was just another example of a "lone sick buff" that couldn't keep up with it's herd mates and wasn't able to run from the elephant so might have made a feeble attempt to defend itself against something overwhelming.
