100% true story this, it happened to me a few years back now (about 10 years in fact).

I had taken a female friend out to Dudley Zoo, (and taken her kids along with us), and the first thing the kids wanted to do was to go and see the elephants.
So off we went to see the "friendly", large grey animals.
Now, i have to admit to myself having a slightly sarcastic sense of humour, and when we got there, there was a smaller elephant (maybe a baby) chewing on a branch and leaves. Well, my sarcastic humour kicked in and i started to tease the elephant to make the kids laugh... i was saying things like "Ha,ha, you have to eat leaves and at least i can have a Big Mac"... to this the elephant dropped the stick and came towards me staring at me, it reached out its trunk in my general direction... again, i teased it by saying "What you going to do? You cant reach me over the fence", at this point, my female companion and her kids were laughing along with me ( as were a small crowd that had gathered).

The elephant then dropped its trunk and (sarcasm again) i laughed and called it a coward........

Suddenly, a brick flew past my head, almost hitting me....... the elephant had decided to get its revenge by picking up a brick and throwing it at me!!!

I haven't been to a zoo since just in case.
And i really hope that elephants do forget..... just incase we come face to face again.

Serves you right, you cruel bastard, shame about the elephant's aim!

Believe me, there was no intention to be cruel.

Oh alrighty then, I'll let you off....just this once!

Thank you rocketgirl,

but you're right, maybe i did deserve to get hit?
But the embarrassment that i got when it happened i think was punishment enough.
Everyone that was laughing with me ended up laughing at me

Yeah, I can imagine!

When my mum was pregnant with me, she got:
Bitten on the belly by a horse
A hippo squirted his muddy shite all over her belly
A baboon bit her on the belly as well...(they lived in africa by the way)

When she was pregnant with my sister......the Pope blessed her belly!!!

Then about 5 yrs ago a flipping tiger turned his back on me and sprayed my face with pee!

I've been laughed at all my life! Ruddy zoo animals...

PS that reminds me, did you ever see that old tv advert cant remember what for, the elephant that the school kid teases with a bun, then the boy's a man and an adult elephant whacks him one, presumably the elephant grew up with a good memory!

Yes, i remember that advert, it was for Rolo's.

And knowing my luck, that would probably happen to me in a few years.... if it wasn't for bad luck, i'd have no luck.
