Paul DuBois is right - you *are* a nasty bugger.  For being unfamiliar
with the nature of elephants, they deserve worse than needing to be cut
out from under the dash with torches?  I sincerely hope you know abso-
lutely everything, 'cause if you don't, and somebody decides to apply
your own standards to you (like a god, or maybe a christ?), you're in
deep sh*t, buster.
