Eric asks
Is there an ideological inference here? An unremarked elephant of
Nietzschean resentment at the symposium?
We must inform you that due to the decline in elephant populations in
both Asia and Africa, we will no longer be able to honor requests for
elephants to place in rooms for metaphorical and idiomatic purposes. We
know that this may inconvenience many of our faithful customers. Over
the years, elephants in rooms have lent support not only to political
and social commentators, but the possibility of there being one in
Russell's rooms at Cambridge, was the subject of aa historic debate
between him and his young Austrian pupil, which some say changed the
course of Western philosophy.
Believe us, we bring you this news with great sadness and the deepest
regret. Until some future time when elephants are restored to the
jungles and savannahs of the world, we suggest that those who for
whatever reason require a large but mysteriously invisible animal
consider our all-natural, organically fed giraffes, which often grow to
5.5 meters (ca. 18 feet) in height.
Please write for prices and shipping shipping details.
Thank you.
