Thank you to RQ for scoring, and as usual looking forward to his delightful narrative. I'll even be willing to play the Grand Slam just to give his grey cells some additional exercise.

As the suave but elderly Maurice Chevalier character sang in "Gigi", "Ah yes, I remember it well."

But the part about an elephant caressing you with his toes sounded downright painful then and still does now. Surely you wouldn't wish that on a fellow horseplayer.

And that my friends is essentially impossible but a Bird of Paradise up your nose is a daily phenomena or at least it was back in the 70's I recall. And speaking of Maurice, I literally almost ran into him at Times Square in NY when I was around 20. As elderly as he was, he had a rather stunning lady on his arm. I even had the guts to ask for his autograph and I got it . . . "Ah yes, I remember it well".
