I was told the exact same thing by Lou Regan my first day on the job 34 years ago.

She would turn and run back the way we came and of course the rest would follow. Like I said before the Elephants where hobbled before I came so the could not run but the bunched up and it took sometimes forever to get them apart again. The run on me about 3 times until I figured out all the tricks to stop them from doing so.; 02 February, 2009 22:20
