Drawing an elephant with scissors is pretty neat.

I have never seen an elephant with scissors. How do they hold them?

Reggie Jackson... “I was too physically violent. I was ready to physically fight some...”
Yeah, he was physically imposing and hot tempered, likely some KKK racist would have shot him in the back if he was alone.

My scissors aren’t symmetrical so my elephant would fall over ‘cause it’s not a weeble.

The money some folks pay for movie props is proof some people have too much of it.
I admit I have a small replica of the leg lamp for grins&giggles but it was cheap.
