    There was an article several years back about how, when the circus came to town, people would flock to the elephants to collect the dung for fertilizing their gardens.

    I’m sure the class that graduated before the institution of Calculus classes breathed a sigh of relief.Where I live the police take down the license plates of those who pick up the dung.So far they have raided more Orchid growers than pot growers.

    And Oxford University, origins roughly 1096 A.D., predates the Magna Carta and the discovery of the Western Hemisphere, and even modern English – think Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales – although written towards the end of the 14th century – which was published in 1475.

    For the Farmers, it may be a matter of Volume..Elephants can “outproduce” a whole Herd of Horses or Cows..And the Ears are rumored to make absolutely Fantastic Sandwiches ….
