Q: Why did the elephant lie down in the river? A: Because Tarzan said "damnit".
So a legal migrant was looking for some work to get a bite to eat and he saw a carnival setting up. Entering the manager's office he asked for a job.
The manager told him that they needed an elephant washer. The guy was a little disappointed and said that he had no experience in that area.
The manager told him it wasn't a problem since the elephants were all trained. So he took the migrant out, gave him a brush and brought him over to the elephant.
The manager said that the elephant's name was "Nuts".
"Lay down, Nuts." The elephant layed down.
"Roll over, Nuts." The elephant rolled over.
"Easy stuff. Here ya go."
About 15 minutes later the migrant, now soaking wet and reeking, came into the manager's office to quit.
The manager asked "What happened? Didn't the elephant obey your commands?"
The migrant said, "Yes. Everything was working fine until some jerk came by yelling 'Peanuts!'"
... I need a drink...where's the SPACE BAR?
