Dear Elephant,

I am annoyed that one can never know for sure what a deserted area looks like.
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Dear Elephant,

If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?

Dear Elephant,

What brand are those scooters? They are obviously built tough.

P.S. Where can I get a supply of vomit bags?

Dear Elephant,

I can't tell if someone put raisins or rabbit turds in my oatmeal.
What should I do?

Dear Elephant,
My doctor says I have TFNJ. He says there is no cure no matter how much posting I do. He does recommend more time in the practice room and less time on the computer. What should I do?
Sincerely

Dear Elephant,

Isn’t making a smoking section in a restaurant like making a peeing section in a swimming pool?

Dear Elephant,

Can you explain to me the difference between SNAFU, FUBAR, AND TARFU?

Dear Elephant,

If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

It's too bad there isn't one with a picture of a viola on it. At least then you could take some pleasure from the experience.

Dear Elephant,

Does "Meow” really mean “Woof”, only in cat?

Is it a good idea to play one's tuba after eating beets? At least I can keep the beet.

Dear Elephant,

I just raked my lawn yesterday and today it looks just like it did yesterday morning. In fact, both mulberry trees still have all their leaves. And they are green. Like, what the hell?

Please tell the sports "writers" (and I use that term loosely) that it's "bi-week" (as in two weeks off) and not "bye week."

While you're at it, tell them the word is "seated," not "seeded." We're talking rank placement here, not hamburger buns.
Wrong, on both counts.

Dear Elephant,

Do LGBT-folk play sports, too?
