Pissing off an elephant just might be the stupidest thing a human being can do. Once angered, there is very little a 180 pound human is going to do against a 10,000-15,000 pound elephant that is seeing red. One circus worker in Karrebaeksminde, Denmark, learned this lesson during a local tradition of allowing circus elephants to bathe in the sea. After the bath, the elephants weren’t ready to return to their enclosure and instead started to get upset, moving dangerously close to nearby crowds of onlookers. The workers quickly move to get the elephants under control, and it looks like they are almost done with the job. Then one worker decides to, for whatever reason, smack the elephant in the trunk with a crowbar. That was stupid. The elephant comes charging around the side of the enclosure after the handler, who darts behind a Skoda station wagon. That doesn’t work out well for the Skoda, which was picked up, tossed and gored.
Eventually the animals were brought under control and returned to the enclosure. As for the Skoda’s owner…well, at least there is this video clip on the Internet. That should make explaining what happened to the insurance agent a little bit easier.

Thank God the cameraman stopped filming after two minutes – suffice to say that Skoda is going to need a new paint job and the driver will have to sit on a giant rubber ring for the next three months….
Don’t piss an elephant off when it’s as randy as a 16 year old lad in his first co-ed class…..
