Longtime fans of The Simpsons will remember the episode with Bart's onetime pet elephant, Stampy.

Stampy, of course, was a gag radio prize that Bart took a bit too seriously, and sure enough an elephant was delivered to his door. Hilarity ensued.

Now you can also pretty much imagine that in this cartoon world of Springfield, there were quite a few odd looks around their courier office when the request came in for such a delivery.

Well, the same thing happened to us.

Yep, we got a request to courier an elephant.

Now we're not sure what packing material we would use in this case. Foam peanuts may be too realistic for our pachyderm package, and a wooden crate... well, would you want to remove a sliver from an elephant ear?

If anyone out there has suggestions for how to package an elephant let us know; we'll be contacting Hammurabi in the interim.
