The only witness to a jewelry store robbery was an elderly lady. When the police officer asked her what the crooks looked like, she said: "All I know is a truck pulled up, an elephant got out from the back of it, broke the store window and took a trunk full of jewelry."
The policeman asked if it was an Indian elephant or an African elephant. The old lady said she didn't know one from the other. The policeman informed her that the Indian elephant had small ears and the African large ears, and asked her again which one it was.
"I couldn't tell you, she said, "It had a stocking pulled over its head."
