Prem Rawat - The Joker of the Universe

He told this 'miser goes to heaven joke'e twice in 1972. The second time he tightened it up. He kept telling it and expanding it making it worse and worse to sit through and he told the joke again and he still hadn't learnt how to tell a joke.

Shri Guru Maharaj Ji, Fernbank, London, 14th March 1972
One day, one rich man went to God's heaven and knocked on His doors, and the secretary came out and asked him, "What is the matter? Why are you knocking on my doors?" And he said, "I want to enter heaven." So the secretary went to God and said, "God, this guy says he wants to enter heaven." And God said, "All right, let him in." Now, this man came to sit before God, and God just asked, "What do you want to do?" He said, "I want to stay in this heaven. I want to enter this heaven." So, God asked, "Have you done anything good, that you may deserve to enter heaven?" And the man scratched his head and said, "Right, I have done something. I gave five cents to an orphan child." God said, "Anything else?" The man said, "Yeah, I gave five cents to a beggar." And God asked him again, "Anything else?" Again this guy said, "Yes, I gave ten cents to a widow." And God asked, "Anything else?" And he said, "No." God thought and thought and thought, and He couldn't understand what to do, because actually the man had done something good. God thought, "Maybe he deserves it," so He asked the secretary, "Secretary, what must I do?" And the secretary said, "God, give him his twenty cents back and tell him to go to hell."

Shri Guru Maharaj Ji in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on June 4, 1972
One day, one rich man went to God's heaven and knocked on His doors, and the secretary came out and asked him, "What is the matter? Why are you knocking on my doors?" And the rich man said, "I want to enter heaven." And the secretary told God, "There is a rich man standing out here and he says he wants to enter heaven." So God said, "Call him before me", and when the rich man came before Him, God asked him, "Have you done anything good in your life?" This is just an example you understand. The rich man scratched his head and said, "Yes, I gave five pence to an orphan child." And God said, "Anything else?" So the rich man scratched his head and said, "Yes, I gave twenty pence to a widow." And God said, "Anything else?" So the rich man said, "No, sorry." God asked His secretary what to do. The secretary thought, and he said, "God, give him his twenty five pence back and tell him to go to hell."

Guru Puja Celebration in Caracas, Venezuela on July 25th, 1975
This story I used to tell a long time ago. There was this rich man, and he was very, very mean. He thought, "I have earned this money out of my own sweat, and I shouldn't give it away." But one time he came to the point where he gave two cents to a little kid. Another time he gave five cents to this old man. Then it came the time for him, and he had to leave his body. He said, "Well, I am supposed to go to heaven, because I have done everything good." He goes to heaven, and he knocks on the door. God's secretary comes, opens the door up, and says, "Yeah. What do you want?" He says, "I want to enter heaven." The secretary thinks, "This guy must be a kook, because he just comes and knocks on the door and says, "I want to enter heaven." What does he think this is, some kinda joke?" But he says, "Why don't you wait. I'll ask God." So he goes back, and he says, "God, there is somebody at the door. He knocked, and I opened it up, and the guy said he wants to enter heaven." God himself was very amazed, because this was very unusual. This didn't happen every day. So he said, "Well, let's see what happens. Let him in." The guy came in, and God said, "Well, have you done anything good that you should deserve to be in heaven?" The guy scratched his head, and scratched his head, and scratched his head. Finally, he says, "Yeah. One time I gave two cents to a little kid." So God said, "Well … Anything else?" The guy scratched his head again, again, and again, and he said, "Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I gave five cents to this old man." God said, "Well, anything else?" And the man said, "No." God was sort of in a funny position, because the man had given some money in charity, which was good. But it wasn't good enough for him to enter heaven. So he didn't know what to do. He sat down and thought and thought and thought, and he couldn't figure it out. Then he turned around to his secretary, and said, "Well, what do you suggest we should do with this person?" The secretary said, "God, why don't you give him seven cents and tell him to go to hell?" And this is what he did. He gave him seven cents and said, "Go back."

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday, 26 August, 1978
There was a rich man, but he was a miser. Mean. So one day he died. And he went to the pearly gates. And he knocked. Again, that's a concept. I guess this story leads you into a concept and then kicks you out of it somehow. And there was this guy sitting with a long beard and he was a secretary to God. And he looked in his ledger and he said, "Oh scab, what do you want?" He said, "Well, I want to enter heaven." He said, "Well, you know, you'll have to ask that to God." He said, "Well, get me an appointment!" Finally, he was presented in front of God. And God said, "Well, what do you want?" He said, "Well, I want to enter heaven. I want to be here!" And God thought about it - I mean, this is a very "concept-y" story. It's full of it. But it'll give you a fair idea - and God said, "Well, have you done anything good?" I mean, what is good or bad first of all? Do we know that? And if we know what's good and bad, then we can say, "Yeah, I've done this, this, this, and this. And that's good." So anyway, according to the concept; charity and this and that are all great stuff. It's all good. And he said, "Well, I once gave five cents to this little orphan." And God said, "Anything else?" And he scratched his head and thought about it. And he said, "Oh yeah. One time I gave five cents to this beggar. He said, "Anything else?" God was waiting for this fantastic explanation of something. I don't know what, but some fantastic thing that would really open those pearly gates up for him. Anyway, then he really scratched and he really thought for a long time, and finally came up with, "Oh yeah. Once I gave five cents to a charity." And God said, "Anything else?" He said, "No. That's it. That's all the good I have done in my whole life." And so God was very puzzled. Again, a concept. A lot of concepts. You can just see that. But God was supposedly very puzzled and couldn't determine whether to send him to hell (it to keep him in heaven. After all, he had done something good. He had given 15 cents away in the name of charity to a beggar, to an orphan, and to a charity. And so God turned around to His secretary - again, a lot of concepts - turned around to His secretary and said, "What should I do? This is completely very strange." And the secretary thought for a moment. And he said, "Well, why don't You give him his 15 cents back and tell him to go to hell?"

Olympia, London, Guru Puja 22nd August 1980
this businessman was extremely adamant about going to heaven, he says "Look, I belong in heaven, I have to be in heaven. I don't care what I have done, I mean I belong in heaven. This is it." And so the the guy informed the secretary of God that uh you know I'm pretty sure that whoever is the secretary of God is your honour, your worship, you you get bad terms with him, you've had it. And so you know God heard all the ruckus goin' on said, "What's, what's the problem out there?" He said, "Well there is this businessman, he is extremely adamant, he won't tell me if he's done anything good or if he's done anything bad but he's extremely adamant that he wants to come into heaven." Well I said, "Call him here, let me talk to him." And he's brought before Lord Almighty and he's questioned, "Well have you done anything good in your life?" And he says, "Well, one time, just one time I gave somebody a dime, you know, there was this poor orphan and I felt so pity on him and I gave him a dime." So God you know who created everything turns and says, "Is that all, I mean have you done anything better than that? I mean anything more?" He says, "Yeah, oh yeah, one time I was walking by and there was this poor old man and I gave him a nickel." "So anything else?" He scratched his head and he scratched his head and he scratched his head and says "No, that's about it." So the Creator said "Well, you've done a little bit of good things, you know, given a dime to one and a nickel to another one. I suppose he's done some good but it certainly isn't enough to enter the heaven on those grounds." So God turned to his secretary and said "Well, what should we do?" The secretary said, "Lord, I personally think you should give him his 15 cents back and tell him to go to hell. Just get out of here, that's it."

Jhumri Taliaya, India on April 15th, 1975.

This is not a joke. I didn't say I was going to establish peace on this earth just for fun. I am not asking anyone how I should do it or anything. I'm just saying I will definitely do it.

San Francisco, California on 17 July 1976
And then there's meditation. Of course, the greatest joke about meditation is that you sit down for meditation…. I've told this joke in front of just a few people and they've all laughed, and that's what's really funny, because they've all laughed and then all of a sudden turned red, completely red, because they say, "Wait a minute, that's what I do. I sit down under a meditation blanket and pretend that I'm doing meditation," and they just do nothing.

Birthday satsang at Malibu, California, December 10, 1977
Frying to take off - that joke about how many Polacks does it take to unscrew a bulb from the ceiling? Well, it takes five. One to hold the bulb and four to turn the ceiling around. It was that kind of a joke, trying to struggle the wrong way, trying to do things the wrong way. (That's supposed to be a joke, yeah. It's nothing personal.)

Guru Puja, Geneva 9th September 1978
Yet it's like that joke, you know. I mean, it depends from where you are and to whom you're telling the joke, but there is this joke about dumb people. "How many dumb people does it take to unscrew a bulb from ceiling? " And the joke goes "Five - one to hold the bulb, four to turn the ceiling! " And this is what I see is happening in this world.

Guru Puja Festival, Tucson, Arizona, July 16, 1978
This is not a joke. There are no tolerances. This is what Guru Maharaj Ji tries to tell you. You can't just say, "Man, I'd rather have a coffee break than satsang." That coffee that is going to end up in the toilet becomes more important to you… And so does your life also one day end up in that toilet! If that's what you want, that's what you'll get.

DENVER / 2/25/79
Then there are people in this world who don't think about anything else but God; who don't know God, who've never seen God, but only dance around the word "God." There are jokes about them. I mean, there are ridiculous jokes about God, about churches. about praying to God. There is this one joke. I've heard it a lot of times. There was a parrot; this parrot was female. This lady had it and all the time this parrot would say really obscene things. This lady used to visit the church every day and so she went up to the reverend and said, "Reverend, I've got a beautiful-looking parrot that says some of the most obscene things." So the reverend says. "Don't bother. I have got two parrots, too. They're male parrots. And why don't we just put them together? Because my parrots only pray, all the time." And so they brought that parrot up to those parrots. And those parrots took one look at the female and went, "Wow! Our prayers have been answered!"

Guru Puja Lingfield England June 21 1979
This is bad place for a party or any kind of festive occasion for that matter. But we haven't come here to have, to have a party and yet something which is even better than a party. To fill up not with junk food and then plop, plop, fizz, fizz, alka-seltzer at the end of it. We haven't come here for that and we haven't come here for a party that has a beginning and has an end.

Hans Jayanti Festival 10/11/1979
It reminds me of this one joke, I heard a long, long time ago, you know. There was this one guy (rubs nose a lot) and one day (laughs) I don't know how to even tell you this joke. One day I guess he got his finger, you know, messed up not hurt or anything just messed up in some doo doo whatever you'd say it and so he came into the village and he said (rubs nose), "You know what happened today, I got my finger all messed up you know in the doo" and there was this one guy there said "Oh my God I can't understand that, if that was me, that would happen to me, I'd cut off my finger. You know washing just isn't good enough." And so 2 days go by and the same thing happens to this guy too, this time he's still got it on his finger and he walks like this (holds his arm our straight) through the whole village on his way to the ironsmith to get it cut off. And he walks all the way over to the ironsmith and he doesn't wanna even look at it and he puts his finger on the little table of the ironsmith and says "Pick up your hatchet and cut my finger off." And the ironsmith looks a little moody nature, a little funny guy so what he did, he turned the hatchet the other way and instead of slamming it on his finger, he just slammed it right next to his finger and it made a big bang noise, it didn't hit him, just made a big bang noise and he thought his finger was cut (laughs) off and so he took his finger and stuck it in his mouth and said "Ouch!" you know. For one moment this guy was ready to get his finger cut off and the other moment "Ouch!" and nothing had happened his finger was just still intact and full of it too. (laughter) And I sincerely hope that's all it is, is a joke not the real thing you know I guess a gruesome twosome

Holi Festival, Rome, Italy / June 25, 1980
Pilots have a saying, just before you crash. They say, "Now put your head between your knees …" And they have a little joke. The reason you do that is so you can kiss yourself goodbye. (Of course they use a word in there that I don't think is appropriate.) Just kiss yourself goodbye. That's it.

Festival of Knowledge, Brussels, 1989-12-08
A, a joke that Daya told me, my daughter, my second daughter told me, really cute and actually I'd heard many versions of this joke so she was sitting on the sofa, I had just walked out of my office and she said, "Daddy, you wanna hear a joke?" I said "Sure" and then she started telling me this joke and I was like going like "Oh Daya, hurry up, I've heard this joke. (laughter) I've heard this joke" and so she kept telling the joke anyways thanks to her endurance and she said "Once there was a, a priest, actually it was a monk, believed in Buddha and uh he and a taxi-driver, a doctor, a lawyer were flying in an airplane." I know you think you've heard this joke too (laughter, sucks snot, clears throat) and something happened drastically, something went wrong and the captain picked up his parachute and jumped out. Well the copilot is supposed to follow the captain so he did the same thing. He, he saw the captain split, he picked up the parachute and he jumped out. The lawyer said "Look folks, I've got clients who are relying on me to save them so I have to go." So he picked up the parachute and he jumped out. The doctor said "I've got patients that definitely need me." He took the parachute and he jumped out. The taxidriver and the Buddhist monk were left in the airplane and the taxidriver says to the monk, says "Go ahead, you take it. I'm a taxidriver, what's ever gonna come of my life? But you, maybe you can help people" and the monk says "No, no, no, you see all my life" and see this is where the joke changes. (Slight laughter) all my life I have been praying to Buddha, wanting Buddha, wanting to be with Buddha, praying to Buddha and this is my opportunity to be finally close to my Buddha." The taxidriver said "Okay." (Sucks snot) and so he grabbed the parachute and he jumped out and immediately, as soon as the taxidriver jumped out, the airplane's coming downs to 10,000 feet. The monk got on his knees and started praying and said "Buddha, you know, this is, this is something that I have chosen. I wanna be close to you and this is finally my opportunity to be close to you and I'm so privileged, I am so honored that I have just one request, down there at the bottom, make it quick so that it's painless. Coming through the 5000 feet he gets on his hands and knees again "Buddha (sucks snot) I thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to finally to be with you, to see you, to, to, to, to pray with you, to, to just adore you please just remember, make it quick." (Laughter) Coming through 500 feet "Oh Buddha, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you so much but please last final call make it quick, make it painless" and the plane is coming through 50 feet and boom a big hand comes out of the sky, picks up the aeroplane and sets the aeroplane on the ground. (Scattered laughter) The monk walks out completely amazed, looks up, says "Thank you God" and the big hand comes and (punches hand) hits him flat. (laughter, clears throat) So, I guess so far he was pointed towards Buddha everything was going just fine and then he went into the general concept and everything fell apart for him and the way it's just games.

Festival of Knowledge, Brussels, 1989-12-08
I mean this all this you know it's really funny I mean there's so many psychologists now, it's like you can't like make a turn without running into a psychologist and how is it go?
There were two psychologists, they used to ride in this elevator every day and there was this girl, she used to operate the elevator and one worked on one floor above the other one so they would both get on the elevator at the same time and the girl would stop the elevator, say at the third floor and the guy coming getting off at the third-floor would look at that guy from the fourth floor and spit at him and then he would get out and the girl would take the guy the other guy, the fourth guy to go go for the floor guy up to the fourth street. This went on for months, every day the third-floor (spitting noise) and he'd get out (sucks snot). So one day the girl got really curious and she said to this third floor guy she ss when he got out she, she looked at this other guy from the fourth floor and said "Tell me something, why does this guy spit at you every single day? Doesn't it bother you?" And the psychiatrist says "Well that's his problem, not my problem, it's his problem." "Yeah, but you're being spat at!" "That's his problem." And to me it's like wait a minute, the human brain is a very sensitive thing to go screwing around with.

You know all of a sudden it reminds me of that story where there were people, this one apprentice specially and he was working with the doctor. He wanted to become a doctor, he was just an apprentice and one day, a, a guy came running out and said uh "My camel is dying, can you help?" And the doctor grabbed his bag and ran off. Sure enough there was a camel lying there and he was dying and the doctor said "Well, bring two stones and the doctor placed one stone underneath and one stone on top and (slaps hand) hit it real hard. The camel got up, the apprentice looked at it and said "I now know the secret to life. I'm a doctor now." And the doctor said, "Come on, what you saw was not what it's all about, you see the camel swallowed this big fruit, got stuck in the throat so I just squashed the throat er fruit and uh the camel was able to swallow and get up." The guy said "No no no you can't talk me out of it, now I know the secret to life." So he got himself a doctor's bag, the apprentice did and walked off, went into a town, there was these four brothers, they were walking along, they saw a doctor, they said "Could you please come to our house? Our mother is really sick, she has been sick for months." "No problem." Went to their house and there was this old lady, this old womans lying there with all you know lost tons of weight with her Adam's apple sticking out. "No problems, bring me two stones" and then you can imagine what happened after that but it's not in the psychology, it's not in different ideas, it's not in the books.

Long Beach, Thursday, December 4 1997
There is this one joke. It explains it to me so much of the human condition. This guy is walking along, and all of a sudden, he falls and slips, and finds himself sliding down the side of this mountain. He starts grabbing for anything he can. He finally does grab onto a branch and comes to a stop. He looks down and it's a sheer cliff. He looks up; there's no way he can get up. All he's got is this fairly fragile branch that he just manages to hang onto. He begins to pray and he says, "Please, you up there, help me." And this big, thunderous voice comes out of the sky and says, "I will. I will. I'll help you. But first, you have to show me a sign of your faith: let go of the branch." And the guy looks down, looks up, looks down again. Too far. So, he prays and again he says, "Please, up there, just help me. I really need help." And again, this thunderous voice comes down and says, "I'm God. I'm up here and I will help you. Just let go of this branch as a sign of your faith towards me." The guy looks down again. He sees himself falling, and finally, the third time, he looks up and he says, "Is anyone else up there?"

Long Beach, Thursday, December 4 1997
Let me begin with a little story: There was a lion who was feeling very good one morning, very happy. He came out of his den, saw a little rabbit, immediately pounced on it, and said, "Who is the king of the jungle? And the rabbit, terribly afraid and shaking, said, "You are." This made the lion even more proud. Bouncing along, he found a deer, jumped on it, and said, "Deer, who is the king of the jungle?" And the deer said, shaking, "You are." Now the lion was feeling really, really good. He was the king. So he goes along, sees an elephant, jumps on it, and says, "Elephant, who is the king of this jungle?" The elephant spun the lion around his trunk, pounded him on the ground again and again till he was senseless, then let go of him. The lion looked at the elephant and said, "Don't get upset if you don't know the answer!"

Unlimited Clarity, 2005
Nobody is willing to take a look at themselves. Nobody. And why? Because you think you will be just as judgemental with yourself as you are judgemental with others. Scary thought. Because for everybody else, you've got absolutes. For you, aaagh. You know, to me, so much of the human condition, and there is this little analogy. It's a little joke, but it's this great little joke. There's this duck. A duck. And he walks into the bar. And he sits down and the bartender comes to him and says "What will you have?" And the duck says "You got grapes?" And the bartender says "No. This is a bar. We sell alcohol here. Not grapes. Go away." Next day, the duck walks into the bar again. Sits down. The bartender says "What will you have" And the duck goes "You got grapes?" Bartender said. "Listen, I told you we don't sell grapes here. We sell alcohol. Now you keep this up. I'm going to take a bunch of nails, drive them through your bill and nail you to this bar. Get out of here." The duck leaves. Next day the duck comes back, sits down. The bartender says "What will you have?" The duck says "You got nails?" The bartender says "No." The duck says "You got grapes?" (laughter) So, everything in this life. When I, when I read that joke, I really liked it. Because it's like, this is what I'm going to do. Person takes it upon themselves in this life. This is what I'm going to do. This is how I want it to be. Completely overlooking what the reality is and then when the person feels threatened, they will do anything in their power to circumnavigate that threatening position. Just like that duck. He just wants to make sure that he doesn't got nails. Got nails? No. Got grapes? Hey, this guy doesn't have grapes.

one day this man was just praying and praying and praying and praying and praying and praying to God. (snaps fingers) And God answered "Yes. What is it?" The man said "I was just wondering. It's like, what's like, you know, a million years to you?" God said "Well, my one second is your millions of years. It's just a second to me. Nothing. Quiet. And this guy said "God what is like $1,000,000 to you?" God said "Well, that's just like a penny. Dead silence. "God" "Yeah." "You think I could have a penny?" and God said "Yeah, just a second."

ADI magazine, 2007
A young man was walking along, and he saw a very old man sitting on the side of the road crying. So he went up to the old man and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you crying?" The old man said, "It's amazing. I just married a beautiful 25-year-old woman." The young man says, "Is that why you're crying?" The old man says, "No, no, no. I just bought a beautiful new house. Incredibly gorgeous. Two new cars, a new boat. My house is beautiful, my boat is beautiful, my wife is beautiful." The young man says, "You're very lucky. Why are you crying?" And the old man says, "I forgot where I live."

It was also published in a WOPG introductory pamphlet
In so many of the old Indian scriptures, it says, "Of all the knowledge you can have, knowledge of the self is the ultimate." Why? I'll explain it with a little joke. A young man was walking along, and he saw a very old man sitting on the side of the road crying. So he went up to the old man and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you crying?" The old man said, "It's amazing. I just married a beautiful 25-year-old woman." The young man says, "Is that why you're crying?" The old man says, "No, no, no. I just bought a beautiful new house. Incredibly gorgeous. Two new cars, a new boat. My house is beautiful, my boat is beautiful, my wife is beautiful." The young man says, "You're very lucky. Why are you crying?" And the old man says, "I forgot where I live."

Rotary International Pre-Convention, 9th June 2006
This might have been the first time he told this joke to an audience that was not his devotees. He died on stage, it went down like a lead balloon

Peacelix DVD 08PF 06
If you say that somebody "Help me" and the person comes and you go "Nope." Just like this. You know, seeing the Texas problem of flooding, it reminds me of this joke every time. This lady has a house and the water starts coming in our house and it starts rising. She gets on the table. Pretty soon you know she realises she has to get all the way on the roof and she's sitting on this roof of the house and the water is coming and she prays to Go. She goes "God please help me. I'm praying to you. I've always believed in you. I love you. Please help me" and just then this boat comes back with these people, with these people. "Lady. Come on." And she goes "No God's gonna help me. He's my saviour. You guys go." Now the water comes up even a little bit more and starting to touch your feet and it's getting, the torrent is getting greater. So she prays again. "God, please help me. Please, please, please help me. "And this huge helicopter comes. Hovers, drops the ropes. The guy, the rescue guy, clamours down. "Lady come out. Let's go." And no, nothing. "I can't. God will help me. You go." Well, then the water gets too much. And of course she dies. She arrives all ticked off. Marches by that gate goes to God's got. I gotta talk to you. God says "What?" "Since. I have believed in you every day of my life and when I needed you, I prayed to you and you did not respond." God said "What? I sent you a boat. You refused it. I sent you a helicopter and you refused it. Give me a break."

Sydney, Australia, 22nd October 2012
One time a priest was walking by. I'm not going to say which denomination. Priests come in every flavour. Ah, the priest was walking by and he saw a bunch of 9 year olds talking kind of loud all gathered together. So he figured they were up to no good. So the priest went over there and he looked at them and he saw there was a little dog in the middle and he said "what are you guys doing?" and the children, 9 year old said "well we found this dog and we all want to take him home." We love him. He's so cute. But only one of us obviously can take this dog home. So we've decided that whoever can tell the biggest lie, the loftiest lie can take the dog home. Priest looked at them. Shook his finger Don't you know you should not lie? Do you know what would happen if you lie? You'll end up in hell. You'll be burned. You'll be boiled. You'll be cut up." All of a sudden. all the 9 year olds fell quiet. Then finally one of them said "OK, you can have the dog."

Prem Rawat in the Gladstone Room at the Houses of Parliament in London 17th June 2014
Eight years later his delivery had improved immensely and so did the reception from the audience
One day, the tiger came out of his cave and he was feeling quite brisk and looked out and saw the sun and took a big yawn. He saw a zebra standing not too far away and he went over to him and said "Hey, who is the king, of the jungle?" and the zee zebra very humbly said, "You are, you are." Well, this perked him up a little bit more and off he went and he found a hippopotamus and he said, "Hey, you, who is the king of the jungle?" and the hippo looked at him said, "You are. You are you. You're great. I mean, you're incredible. You're so powerful. You're so mighty. You're you're roar just strikes fear in people" and this got him more all perked up and goes over, sees a horse, "Hey, who's who's who's who's the king of the jungle?" and the horse looked at him and said, "Hey, you are. You know, you are the tops. I mean, you're it. Look at your fangs. Look at your claws. Look at your eyes. Look at your roar. Look at your body. Look at, I mean, you're it." By this time this tiger was barely walking on land. So he went over and saw a big elephant and he went over to the big elephant and he said, "Hey, you!" and the big elephant just look down at him. The tiger said, "Hey, Who is the king of the jungle?" and the elephant said nothing. After a little while, the tiger was quite irritated because, you know, here he had his ego and everybody had been supporting him and here's this elephant saying nothing and he says, "Hey, you elephant, I'm talking to you. Who is the king of the jungle?" The elephant looked down. Very irritated. Picked him up in his trunk. Took him, bashed him, bashed him, bashed him, bashed him, bashed him and let him go. The tiger looks at him. "Just because you don't know the answer. You don't have to get upset."
