A Jumbo tusk for scientists

"Masturbating an elephant in the cause of science isn’t an easy job – just ask wildlife expert Dr Thomas Hildebrandt.

Just touching a jumbo penis – they measure more than 1.5metres when aroused – can have painful consequences as German scientist Dr Hildebrandt reveals.

He said: “One guy I know got a black eye from being hit by an elephant’s penis.

“When you touch an elephant there it starts to flick backwards and forwards and it’s so strong it can knock you off your feet. It’s such a strong movement.”

Now I'm picturing one of those scientists, filling out a form somewhere, having a fit of silliness and putting down "sex worker" as their occupation.

Makes me want to cross my legs.

Reminds me of a guy I dated once... ONCE.

So do OSHA forms have a checkbox for this? What about Worker's Comp paperwork?

Imagine trying to explain to your doctor that 'No, I swear, I got the black eye at work ... no, I'm not filing charges, it was all my fault, I should have paid more attention.' ... Be prepared for the 'if you need someone to call, there are agencies that can help. We can get you to a safe place.'

The scientist that they quote is German, so I don't know what the rules are in Germany about job safety. Probably pretty strict.

And note, it was a man who got the black eye. They don't ask guys "those questions" which is jolly unfair to the truly abused husbands. Not common, but it happens.

I bet these people are great at parties. I'd love that. "What do you do for a living?" "Oh, I jerk off elephants for science."
