Your 'Have A Nice Day' Laugh is:

A competition was held to see which nation can produce the best book
on elephants.

The British submited a dry historical account "The Elephant and the
British Empire."

The French submited a text "The Sensuality of the Elephant -- a Personal
Account."

The Germans submited 47 Volumes entitled "An Elementary Introduction to the
Foundation of the Science of the Elephant's Ear."

The Americans submited an article from "Money" magazine: "Elephants -- the
Perfect Tax Shelter for the 80s"

Green-Peace submited a counter-entry "Elephants -- they're better than
People"

The Russians submited a terse manuscript titled "The superiority of
the Soviet Elephant"

And submited a poem "The Joy and
Freedom Brought forth by the Soviet Elephant."

But the Japanese won with their Promotional Flier "We have no Elephants but
wouldn't you want to buy one of sports cars instead"
