So there’s this picture in the paper of an elephant being laid on his side after being tranquillized because he has overgrown toenails and needs a pedicure but apparently doesn’t like his feet touched. And I think we’d all agree that if an elephant doesn’t want you touching his feet, you pretty much shouldn’t… at least, while he’s awake. Boy, that makes cutting my birds’ nails take on a whole new meaning of easy.
