Elephants are not built for carrying loads. It damages their spines and legs. Not to mention what they go through to get to this point. Please research. (Yes, it’s a comic. No, I don’t usually dump reality on comics. But yes, I am very triggered by animal abuse.) Please, please research.

TRUE STORY: Back in the late ’70s, a friend of mine was on a business trip in Texas & was driving about 10mph over the speed limit on the freeway, when he was pulled over by a cop. The cop let him off with a warning to keep up with traffic.

Must be German! That’s the only country where I have seen minimum speeds posted on the highways. There was none for the far-right lane, but all the other lanes had minimum posted speeds. It was posted in white on a blue circle.

Oh, and by the way, you crushed a SUV back there.
