There's a story about a circus train derailing outside Mason Ohio a number of years ago. They had a heck of a time rounding up all the animals that got loose. The Mason police got a call from a disturbed man who said there was a big gray animal in his garden, "picking up cabbages with his tail."
"What's he doin' with the cabbages," asked Dispatch.
"Sir, you wouldn't believe me if I told you," came the reply.
Eventually, the elephant was captured and put back on the train.
