I can't remember who posted this but I came across it today as I was cleaning up wls files I had printed out. I always got a kick out of it, especially at the time it was posted I was eagerly approaching the elephant penis status. *lol* Now I've graduated to a two month old horse, a car tire, and a human head!

I love this. I've never seen it before!

I've lost the amount of trash you throw away in one month but that doesn't seem nearly as much as

A two month old horse AND an automobile tire.

Woo Hoo.

 I seem to have lost a gold brick...  I assure you though, I never intended to misplace THAT particular item!  Since surgery though, I've lost a 5000BTU A/C unit.  Nice!
