Me: I bought an elephant for your room.
Them: Thanks!
Me: Don’t mention it.

@dgar Reminds of a joke from my childhood.

How do you know if an elephant has been in your refridgerator?
They always leave a footprint in the pizza.

Told this to a kid leaving 7-11 with a boxed pizza. He blinked and smiled. I bet he'll repeat it to his family. I wonder if it will loose something in the translation to Spanish.

@mvilain @dgar the French version is not about knowing if the elephant was in the fridge but « how do you put an elephant in a fridge ?
- you simply open the door, put the elephant in the fridge and then close the door. »

@mvilain @dgar

There is a second stage.

A few minutes/hours later you can ask the same kid how to put a girafe in a fridge. He will surely offer to open the door, put the girafe in and close the door.

Which is overseeing the catch, because there is one : you open the door, get the elephant out of the fridge first, then you can put the girafe in and close the door.

@Vive_Levant @mvilain @dgar it keeps going..

My favourite version includes what each step ostensibly tests;
