For Columbusonian--Thanks for asking. #8

"I'm curious to see where you would have rather seen the money spent in the zoo." Here's where we make some money, and spend a bit. Also because elephants are "hot items" right now, we are going to take advantage. All the the folks who want to smell stink, can volunteer to help muck out the elephant barn in the morning. I know for a fact, they will have all the stink they can handle, and we get free labor which transmits into less overheard. But more importantly we can get rid of this piece of nonsense above. But we are going to keep it in the warehouse, on the off chance we should ever need it. With no graphic's department, and Colo up to her hairy eyeballs in "creativity", we can put it back up if the folks needed something to smell after they were finished in the elephant barn, although I bet they are going to have their fill of stink. We are going to spend a small amount and rig up a more "visually appealing"(the education dept. loves that term. See how we squared the beef and calmed them down after 86ing their enlightenment camp below and the stink hole above) hot wire system for the baby elephant below. That way he will actually have to touch it to get bit, instead of getting grabbed when he turns to look at it, or leans that way.
