Ban flying elephants, just in case

To the editor:

Since you have no cross burnings in Missouri and you're trying to pass a law against it, maybe you shouldn't miss the opportunity to pass a law preventing elephants from flying. I know elephants don't fly now in Missouri, but someone may read an old Dumbo comic book and teach one to fly. Wouldn't it be wise to be on the politically correct safe side and pass anti-flying elephant laws now since elephant dung falling from 5,000 feet could possibly be fatal?
