In some cultures, an elephant can become a lucky charm.

So I am asking, how do you do that?

A friend of mine explained to me that for an elephant, to become a lucky charm, you need it to be lost, recovered, stolen, recovered, and a few other steps.

Unluckily, I cannot find that friend, nor can I find any references to the process.

So I am asking, simply;

"How do you turn an elephant into a lucky charm?"

Losing and finding and Elephant seems like alot of work. I'll just go find a rabbit and chop its foot off ... much easier.

Someone has to give you an elephant as a gift, then you put it facing your front door for good fortune.

Isn't it strange how one's memory of something isn't how it originally was?

Perfect example: Two weeks ago, I watched Willie Wonka. Good lord, that movie is creepy. Especially that tunnel part. Damn…that's trippy. I mean, I was doin' the Cheech & Chong 'Whoa!' thing and I wasn't even high. But I remember that movie being sweet.

My aunt collects elephant figurines and she told me that if you want an elephant to be good luck make sure its trunk is up.. a downward facing trunk is bad luck...

IT HAS TO BE A GIFT, you cannot buy it for good luck and give it to yourself.

Trunk up yo, dat be the shizzle.
