This is a true story: when in high school, I played in our band. A visiting circus hired a bunch of us students to play during their run in our town (jut two performances on a Saturday). The night before, a bunch of us went out drinking, and I got really sick, to the point of falling out of bed and puking. I still had to play the show, which was bad enough. But between shows, there were several hours so I went home to rest. What I didn’t know was that three of the elephants escaped (with the help of a troubled individual) and were running through town while I drove home. As I reached the house and got to my porch, there were lots of sirens. My mom came out to see what was going on — and just then an elephant ran across our yard. Without missing a beat, my mom turned to me and said, “Shame it isn’t pink.”
The thing about pink elephants is that they can only cause mental damage or, rather, are a sign of serious alcohol-induced mental damage. I worked on a tobacco farm in the summer when I was a kid. There was an old guy there who had serious DTs (delirium tremens). One night I saw him bite the tail off a dead possum which someone told him was a raccoon. It was positively the least funny thing I have even seen in my life.

There was a liquor store where I grew up that had pink neon elephants around at the top of the building.
