How many more headlines can we write at The Perthville Times containing the words “white elephant”? That is the question.

Perthville’s celebrated Inventor mulled over both of the above conundrums, and here’s what he thinks.

He was asked to transport a real white elephant using his truck – an unusual assignment. Usually he uses the truck to transport his quite useless inventions to shows where they are bought by unsuspecting dupes who later find the inventions to be quite useless.

This time he is gladly doing something for Perthville Zoo which he expects to benefit the local community.

And yet Anonymous commented: ‘That truck and its owner have caused so much heartache to innocent people, we may engage the elephant to imagine it is in a china shop that has no toilet.’
