Sense & Nonsense
A squirrel is living in a pine tree...
A squirrel is living in a pine tree, when one day it starts to shake and rock.
So he looks outside and he sees a large elephant trying to climb up the tree.
"What the heck!" the squirrel exclaims. "What the heck do you think you're doing climbing up this tree?!"
The elephant responds. "I'm climbing up here to eat pears."
The squirrel is befuddled. "You moron! This is a pine tree! There are no pears!"
The elephants stares at him for a moment before replying, "I know. I brought my own."
