Why do elephants have springs on their feet?

So they can bounce into trees & play with apes.

What's the most dreaded sound in the jungle?

Boing! Boing! Boing!

The elephants wanted to paint their toenails blue (it's a winter tradition) but those monkeys (cheeky as we all know they can be) bought all the blue nail polish up from 'Thelma's "You Look Good" Emporium' and so Red was the next best thing. Sigh.

... Poor poor Thelma... Year end drew near and so her accountant, the great Baloo became busy with calculations.

(We must keep in mind that according to Baloo one new 'bear necessity' is a holiday in Spain and so the accountant gig became a must).

... Just at the very moment when all seemed to be lost. A sad and sorry year for our gal Thelma... Perms came back! The 'in thing'... don't you know! BIG HAIR IS IN! Whoot, and ABBA is back in style to boot. Double Woot for a certain person who will remain nameless.
Thelma had 102 boxes of perm rods of various colours and styles in the back of her stock room... overflow from the 80's. We all know that when the straight iron was perfected no one and I mean no one could sell a perm rod to save their sorry souls... especially not the purple ones.
Thelma's "You Look Good" Emporium was back in business. Everyone wants gigantic hair!
Thelma and Kaa joined Baloo in Spain that year and went on some amazing pottery studio tours. A slice of fantastique... sigh.

In Indai the Elephant is a sacret anilmal and when there is a relgouse festable they worship the elephent who is called ghenshia and they do paint there toes nails red and cover them in flowers but know harm comes to the elephant at all not like our circuses who prarade them and make them do tricks and if they dont they get beaten with electric prongs they are such a majestic animal we should let them be and let them back into the wild

Elephants can't and wouldn't paint their own toenails!! Only humans would do something so degrading to such a magnificent, majestic, intelligent creature. Are their toenails painted in the wild? No, they have much more important tasks at immediate hand. Only humans would.....

Mich i think this was a joke.

Bulletman, I feel foolish if that is the case. I try not to be naive, but I find that sometimes I still am. AND we get such weirdo questions on this site that I have a hard time telling legitimate from fake questions, sometimes. And that is exactly what the fake question asker wants!!!! Oh, well,....not the end of the world!! We move on...

Moving on... Why do monkeys choose to paint their toenails blue? (place grin here!):D

michmar118, I received a book of elephant jokes and riddles when I was 12 and this was actually one of them. How I remembered that the answer I gave was the one in the book is beyond me ('cept I remember stuff I'll never really NEED). Your answer shows me a sincere concern for them, and you don't need to feel foolish about that!
