Are you asleep?
No...
Good. What does a trunk feel like?
Like a big tail on your face.
Ok.

[–]RockingTheRitz 2 points3 points ago

Next question, what's it like to have a tail?

[–]D-Ack 3 points4 points ago

Like a big trunk on your butt.

[–]RockingTheRitz -1 points0 points ago

Hahah, I knew it!!

I was waiting for the reply, thank you, buddy.

[–]bitter_twin_farmer 7 points8 points ago

Or an enormous face penis.

[–]debon_snow 42 points43 points ago

Cute picture, taken at the Sheldrick Wildlife trust in Africa most likely. They set this place up to take in baby elephants when the parents are killed (usually from poachers), because the babies are completely incapable of taking care of themselves. The keepers like the guy in the picture teach them how to eat, take a dirt bath etc, they sleep in the pens with them and cant leave them for an hour. Then they have to be " strong enough to let them go" back into the wild after 3 years. Kinda awesome. Here is a video

[–]chean 7 points8 points ago

You know..

I want to do something awesome in my life before I die.

I love elephants and i would love to be their best friend helping then have a chance in this cruel world.

[–]fakecandy 5 points6 points ago

I came to the comments for the story behind the picture. Thank you.

[–]2_legit_2_quit 2 points3 points ago

Thought that looked familiar. They made an IMAX film that was really good that focused on both Sheldrick and another trust for monkeys (forgot the name). If its in your area, I'd suggest checking it out.

It's an amazing place. I ended up going during a business trip, with some colleagues. We ended up sponsoring Naipoki, who is a little joker. The keepers told me that the elephants who are there because of poachers are often very angry at humans. They speak to the other elephants, and calm down. They don't see the other orphans with the keepers and make the decision based on observation - they get introduced to another member of their new elephant family, and get told that these humans are OK. The older orphans take on the role of matriarch. It's about time I sent them more money.

[–]0takuSharkGuy 1 point2 points ago

I actually thought that was Kony...

[–]MagicNugs240 1 point2 points ago

[–]Great_Gig_In_The_Sky 70 points71 points ago

Wow is it last week already?

[–]PurpleSfinx -1 points0 points ago

This got a genuine lol from me. Ironically, it's funny enough to be reposted on every repost.

[–]forgotpasswordagain0 2 points3 points ago

So why the fuck even bother saying it? PurpleSfinx you're probably a really cool dude but come on man

[–]ijaialai 1 point2 points ago

[–]Who_flung_poo69 9 points10 points ago

Absolutely heartwarming. The tale of a picture reposted from person to person trying to find its rightful place in Reddit.

[–]shit_jus_got_real 24 points25 points ago

Absolutely reposted.

[–]Gnurx 44 points45 points ago

Spam.

But just in case anybody's curious it leads here

[–]CyrusKain 6 points7 points ago

Elephants never forget, and posts about them are never forgotten.

[–]AngryCod 0 points1 point ago

That's why you never ask one to help you hide a body.

[–]newaccount1233 2 points3 points ago

So?

This is the first thing I've laughed out loud to today (11:00 AM here).

Thank you.

[–]Hosfac 1 point2 points ago

Is there a team of Reddit users that just go around and upvote reposts for no other reason than to spite everyone else? My god, I haven't been here THAT long, and I've already seen this one 3 times...and honestly, it's not even that funny.

[–]sodoubleoggood 0 points1 point ago

afuckingmen

[–]ZebulonPike13 6 points7 points ago

Why do people always insist on commenting on a repost? It's more annoying than the repost itself. Just downvote and move on.

[–]AngryCod 5 points6 points ago

...says the guy commenting on a repost...

[–]DarkKnight77 0 points1 point ago

Comments the guy commenting on a comment about commenting on reposts

[–]runnergunner 1 point2 points ago

[–]principessa1180 -1 points0 points ago

Remember that movie Operation Dumbo Drop?

[–]comeandgetpapabear 1 point2 points ago

pic always reminded me of DAve Chappelle as I had first seen it after he quit the show and went to Africa to get away from the media.

Want it to be true so it is. He probably got taht elephant high as shit and then they took a nap and bro'd out.

[–]ladaghini 1 point2 points ago

More like irrelephant stuff.

[–]karltee 0 points1 point ago

[–]BoneSwordLord 1 point2 points ago

[–]canadian028 0 points1 point ago

I think its being a repost is irrelephant.

[–]turd_miner91 0 points1 point ago

"Whatchya thinkin' about?"

"Meh, I guess it's all just irrelephant."

[–]argarlargar 0 points1 point ago

Just watched that last night. Bonus - narrated by Morgan Freeman.

[–]CannedHamlet 0 points1 point ago

I created this account mostly to down vote reposts and pictures of cats, my biggest regret is that I can only down vote once. I should have multiple accounts.

[–]Zehmistah -1 points0 points ago

I dunno child soldiers stuff I guess

-What do we always say is the most important thing?
