Here in the UK, we have a kids' TV programme called "Blue Peter". It's
been around for AGES -- must be getting on for 30 years. When I was
a kid (I'm 37 now), they had a baby elephant on (it was, and still is,
a live programme). The elephant did his business right there in the
studio. He must have done a couple of gallons! John Noakes, one of
the presenters, slipped on the lake of pee. Then handler tried to
restrain the elephant who was having none of that and marched across
the studio with the handler in tow, barging folk all over the place.
It was one of the best bits of TV I've ever seen. It gets repeated
from time-to-time.
[Sorry -- this isn't ASCII art - but I though elephant fans might
enjoy it]
