ONE
So… What do you think, guys?
TWO
Elephant.
THREE
Elephant.
FOUR
Definitely an elephant.
FIVE
Yeah, I guess. (Pauses, then sighs in a frustrated manner.) Frankly, I’m getting sick of all these dang elephants. This is, what, like, ten in a row now?
ONE
You knew the job would be dangerous and/or full of elephants when you took it.
TWO
Yeah, I mean seriously… weren’t you even paying attention in your Blind Object-Identification Contractor core knowledge courses at Blind Community College?
FIVE
I… took “Blind Leading the Blind.” They let me skip BCK* because of AP Credit.
ONE
We’re still on the clock, you know.
FOUR
No, I want to know now. What AP Credit did you have?
FIVE
Just AP Chemistry. They let me off on a technicality because the lab was “hands-on.”
FOUR
That’s terrible.
FIVE
It’s true though. Bureaucrats respond favorably to puns.
ONE
Can we please get back to our jobs, everyone? They don’t pay us twelve dollars an hour to NOT identify elephants, you know.
THREE
Yes, actually I believe they pay us twelve dollars an hour to identify elephants. Entirely different.
TWO
Almost opposite, really.
THREE
Quite.
But seriously, it was a luxury personal yacht, not an elephant. The last eight objects they (in all cases erroneously) identified as elephants were, in order, a palm tree, dinosaur bones, cold fusion, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Bob Dole, dark matter, the Olsen Twins (counted separately), and a rhinoceros.
