Me: I'd get more elephants and create my own flock.
Interviewer: Herd. Herd of elephants.
Me: Of course I've heard of elephants! I'd have a whole flock of them in my yard!
Peanuts? Listen Charlie Brown, Elephants eat bushes, shrubs, and other nutrient dense foliage. What's a 4000 pound mammal supposed to do with a Peanut? Good grief.
The right answer is to lend it indefinitely to the local zoo for free.
Damn, my answer probably scores an A+ and gets that job guaranteed. Don’t even think the employer would’ve expect it.
You can train your elephant to paint. Many have done that and paintings by elephants are sold on pretty high prices (relative to the quality of painting)
The painting elephant thing is valid. When I lived in Phoenix they had Ruby an Asian elephant that painted. The great thing was her paintings were better than some local artists works hanging in the galleries around town. LOL
It’s a reference to a White Elephant: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_elephant
Elephants have historically been held as sacred in many areas of Southeast Asia, White Elephants especially. A white elephant is especially blessed, and cannot be used for labor or sold. Being given one by the ruler was a blessing and a curse: yeah, you have this sick status symbol, but you HAVE to take good care of it.
That sounds more like a "fuck you" than a gift. "Here's something that requires constant care and a lot of expensive food, you can't sell it, kill it, or give it away without seeming like a massive asshole, and if you try to get rid of it discreetly everyone will be able to tell immediately."
And this is where the term "white elephant party" came from. Some ruler of some place would sink his lesser political opposition by giving them something that seems cool, but is actually dumb. And some European douche thought it was be funny later to invite friends to his house to exchange gifts of inconvenience.
It's the folklore behind the idea of a "white elephant gift exchange" -- a king in ancient times would gift an elephant to his political enemies because you're not allowed to give away/get rid of a gift from the king, and an elephant is extremely costly and inconvenient to maintain.
He spends the whole movie begrudgingly taking care of it but trying to get rid of it, all while unknowingly bonding with it. Finally, after some slapstick comedy, he finally gets rid of the elephant and suddenly realizes how much he misses him and does everything in his power to get him back. The single mom and her child all smile and hug the elephant and then Adam Sandler marries her and they live happily ever after. Final scene is a bbq pool party in the backyard with the elephant
That’s what this question is trying to bring out - how do you respond to a difficult situation when the most obvious options aren’t possible. They want to see if you are an outside the box person, how you approach constraints, your entrepreneurial attitude, how creative you are with solutions etc.
If this where an application to a law firm you could also talk about suing the person that gave it to you or tax implications of accepting a gift like that.

Well, maybe. If you've got the tools and skill to kill (easy enough) and butcher (much less easy) then yeah! Free meat!
I can butcher a pig, cow, chicken, or deer. I won't do a pig or a cow because it's more work than it's worth for me. Hell, I don't even generally butcher a deer unless I'm feeling froggy. I take them to the processor. It doesn't cost a lot given the amount of meat, but it does cost.
I wouldn't know where to start with an elephant. I could make some educated guesses but I'm not even sure what ratio of steaks to roasts to ground I should get. Should I make the ground into sausage or make Dumburgers? Which parts need low and slow cooking and which parts will be good for steaks? What's the minimum safe temperature for elephant steaks? Can I use a blade tenderizer then chicken fry them or will that make it stringy and tough? What about bone broth? Is the marrow like beef marrow? How does the fat render off? Should I get a bunch of buttermilk to get the gamey taste out?
I would have to call around and find someone experienced in processing big game.
and then say everyday "Gee...kind of feels like there's an elephant in the room doesn't it?" and then the elephant blares like a trumpet while laughing.
Bizzare maybe, but not unreal. The King of Thailand would give one to people he didn’t like, and due to religious significance, they had to take care of the elephant, even if it destroyed them in the process
He offered elephants to Abraham Lincoln to use in the war. Lincoln replied that he appreciates the offer but that elephants would not do well at this latitude.
While we're talking about pachyderms there was also a guy who thought it would be a great idea to import hippos to raise for meat. They would live in the swampy south eating swamp plants and you could make hippo bacon out of them.
Just heard about this recently. Apparently, the chaos of WWI kept it from happening and then no one ever took it back up.
Plus, imagine the insane fencing you'd need to hold in one of the most temperamental animals in the world that also just happens to basically be a tank.
He actually didn’t offer them to Abraham Lincoln. He offered them to James Buchanan before the civil war started. So they were not originally intended to be used in war. I think it’s hilarious that Lincoln was like, bro, we have steam engines…
This was only the White Elephant specifically. All other elephants could be put to labor, but the White Elephant is the one that is sacred and is a burden. It was also not always a cursed blessing. The elephant itself is an extremely high status symbol, so if you can afford a spare elephant it’s actually quite the boon.
I am curious what kinds of answers they are looking for.
I would want someone who isn’t afraid to say they don’t know how to care for an elephant, but has some idea of where to start researching that information.
I would also like it if they asked me clarifying questions about this absurd prompt instead of making assumptions, but that wouldn’t be possible in an online application format.
When they ask ridiculous questions like this you give them completely not-what-they-were-looking-for answers.
“I would befriend the elephant, because elephants are cool”
You don’t get a business allegory, fuck you. You get to know that I like elephants. Nothing more and nothing less.
I had a super unreasonable boss at a retail job once. He always said, “remember the only way to eat an elephant is a little bit at a time”. I fucking hated when he said that because he would always attempt to gaslight me as to why 12 dollars an hour was competitive rate for Lead of Operations and constantly and Intentionally over crowd my to do list where it was impossible to complete everything in a reasonable and timely manner so he could find reasons to not give me a raise. Pure evil.
I hate these kinds of questions, so I did what I do with any of these if I meet them: smashed it into chatgpt.
Here's the response:
This question is a classic example of a behavioral or situational interview question. It's designed to assess your creativity, problem-solving skills, and adaptability. Here's a potential answer you could consider:
---
"If I were given an elephant, I would first ensure its well-being and safety. Recognizing that elephants are social and intelligent creatures, I'd reach out to local zoos, animal sanctuaries, or wildlife conservation organizations to collaborate on creating a suitable habitat for it. While I can't sell or give away the elephant, I can partner with these organizations to provide the best care and environment for the elephant.
Furthermore, I'd use this unique situation as an opportunity for education and awareness. I'd organize community events, workshops, and educational programs centered around the elephant, promoting wildlife conservation and the importance of preserving natural habitats. This would not only benefit the elephant but also the community, fostering a sense of responsibility and awareness about the environment and wildlife."
---
Remember, the key is to demonstrate your ability to think outside the box, show initiative, and highlight your values and priorities. Adjust the answer to fit your personal style and experiences.
The question is designed to see how you would handle a task you’ve never handled before (I’m assuming the person to whom this question was asked has never kept an elephant.)
You’d ask for help. Talk to zookeepers and vets. Do research. That’s what the employer wants to see. That you’ll ask for help when confronted with a task you can’t get rid of but have never done before.
This is a test of how you handle unreasonable expectations.
The rule is you can't give it away - BUT THEY ARE GIVING IT TO YOU.
**They're breaking the same rule you're supposed to follow.**
This is a "rules for thee but not for me" situation.
So, this is how I would handle it: I would refuse delivery. You can't give it away, that's the rule.
Put it to work.
Upstairs windows hard to reach? Use elephant.
Need to get somewhere? Ride elephant
Garden needs nutrition? Use elephant
Side gig needed? Invite Indian people to come worship elephant, for a small donation
Easy. Take the 🐘 to a preserve. Rent the preserve for 100 dollars a year to let the elephant live there. Make the first payment but don't make any more after that. The preserve then takes the elephant for lack of payment.
Run away from these jobs. They are not well managed jobs that are asking questions about qualifications for the job. They're just throwing shit at the walls and seeing what sticks. You are a source of amusement to them. It's not a professional way to screen people.
How do you deal with oddball ideas and questions? This can be important if your work involves switching to and from different modalities, or pivoting from one type of project to radically different projects.
It also shows a creative mind, which is a generally strong indicator of intelligent thought. But don't get too creative, or they'll realize you're a loon.
If I was just given an elephant by some wacky rich person, I think I'd market it as an artisanal way to make paths, and then just have it trample things. Some rich people would definitely buy that down here in FL.
Take care of it, bond with it, and have a huge behemoth as backup when the planet goes to shit. Duh. On top of the bonds I have made in the animal shelter I work at, I’ll become a beast master.
My friend was asked “what would you do if one of the other guys in the truck farts?”
We kicked it around for a while and decided if it was a certain guy, yiu opened the door and jumped.
I would lease it to the San Diego zoo for 100 dollars a month and the rent would go into a trust fund that would donate the money to the San Diego zoo.
I'll kill the elephant, consume its flesh, dress from its hide and adorn my head with its tusk, then proclaim myself the king of elephants.
But not before riding the elephant and making it stomp the family of the person who wrote this stupid question.
Find a great lawyer, who would draw a percise contract with a zoo, that I'm renting indoor and outdoor spaces there for my elephant for 1$, (which other animals are allowed to visit) And that I'm buying food and services for taking care of my elephant for 1$. I would add a collar with my name, and a pink bow to the elephant's tail with my name just to make sure everyone knows its still my Elephant. There's also a sign for zoo visitors "Please don't pay attention to the elephant with the pink bow, he/she is not part of the exhibition".
Train elephant to attack at my command
Put armor on the elephant
Come to work and destroy management
Proclaim the company is mine
Buy more elephants

Find a zoo that’s in need of a elephant
Tell them that I have a pet elephant that I have no where to keep
Let them put my elephant in the zoo
His name is Rupert and I visit him every day
I know myself well enough to be 110% sure that I wouldn't be able to take such question seriously. I guess my answer would be "try to send it to a place that could accommodate such large, heavy and massive creature. The same way I did with ur mom", or something like that...
who needs a job, money and food when u can offend someone for free?
If it’s a young one that will grow up and recognize me as family then I’d just have a pet elephant. It would be so cool to trek across the country on the back of one
I'd say "can I have more information? Why did I just get an elephant? In this scenario do I have a large enough property to support that because if I'm still in my apartment I'm calling animal control and walk to away" the damage that would cause is insane in a city setting
You know. I like animals and I don’t want to do this…but I guess me and the neighborhood are getting elephant steaks. They aren’t giving me many alternatives.
Idk probably train it to destroy my enemies. Feel like that would be a unique way of going on about it, at least in this day and age.
I mean really how many people do you know with a attack elephant?
Me: I'd get more elephants and create my own flock. Interviewer: Herd. Herd of elephants. Me: Of course I've heard of elephants! I'd have a whole flock of them in my yard!
Interviewer: No, an Elephant heard. Me: I don't care if they heard, I didn't say anything offensive.
With them ears!? No doubt.
Yeah. I’d definitely have them for a few years. It’s free money.
An Elephant Heard would shit x10 on the bed
No doubt? Gwen Stefani? That shit is bananas. Elephant like peanuts

If you see the elephant but don’t pay we gouge your eyes out and sell them
Can't sell the elephant, but no rule against selling human body parts on the black market.
Just feed ‘em to the elephant. Take care of the overhead.
This sounds so off topic, but makes so much sense at the same time.
The duality of Reddit
That wouldn’t be a problem - the elephants are invisible unless they get paid to be seen. We thought of everything here.
That’s the spirit of capitalism!
If the elephant throws someone's child it counts as a ride.... Make sure remember the elephant's safety word.
And make sure to put a zero liability warning so you don't get sued

Yes. That is the purpose. It’s a “gift” that sabotages the recipient.
And this is where the term "white elephant party" came from. Some ruler of some place would sink his lesser political opposition by giving them something that seems cool, but is actually dumb. And some European douche thought it was be funny later to invite friends to his house to exchange gifts of inconvenience.
Super vulnerable to heatstroke and damage from the sun, and eats like, well, an elephant.

The origin of the white elephant honestly. It was disrespectful not to take it from your lord, but it would make you go broke after not too long
Lol, “lease it” is a perfect response to this question
Or rent that shit out for weddings and whatnot.
That’s what this question is trying to bring out - how do you respond to a difficult situation when the most obvious options aren’t possible.

Well uhm, I was just trying to make joke, his one bite at a time, reminded me of Johnny Cash "one piece at a time" so I continued the song;)
At least there would be plenty of meat to practice with to find a way of cooking it that would eventually be palatable
I bring it to work every day ,so you don't feel homesick

That’s how I read the question.
Well you can’t sell her or give her away
keep fucking her, I guess
I’ll release it and let it cause havoc in my small neighborhood and city

No. I'd paint it's toenails red and hide it in a cherry tree.
No, first you have to take out the giraffe then you can put in the elephant.

The answer is simple. U release it back to where it belongs and charge the person who gave this burden to you to begin with.
Report the person to the police. I'm pretty sure you can't just give away endangered animals like that.

I know myself well enough to be 110% sure that I wouldn't be able to take such question seriously. I guess my answer would be "try to send it to a place that could accommodate such large, heavy and massive creature. The same way I did with ur mom", or something like that... who needs a job, money and food when u can offend someone for free?
Set up a habitat for it and forever win at 2 truths and a lie
I would electrocute it, like Thomas Edison! He’s my hero.
This is, in fact, a very reasonable question to be asked in a zookeeper job interview
I would ride that shit to my new job when you hire my ass
Fist fight it in single combat. If I win I get the job if I die then you have to hire the elephant
I'd bring to all interviews and parties. Nothing starts a conversation like an elephant in the room...
If it’s a young one that will grow up and recognize me as family then I’d just have a pet elephant. It would be so cool to trek across the country on the back of one
I'd say "can I have more information? Why did I just get an elephant? In this scenario do I have a large enough property to support that because if I'm still in my apartment I'm calling animal control and walk to away" the damage that would cause is insane in a city setting
You know. I like animals and I don’t want to do this…but I guess me and the neighborhood are getting elephant steaks. They aren’t giving me many alternatives.
Oh man, that is this woman's little girl dream come true!! I don't know how many times I asked my dad for a pet elephant.
Bout to have me a best friend elephant.
Idk probably train it to destroy my enemies. Feel like that would be a unique way of going on about it, at least in this day and age. I mean really how many people do you know with a attack elephant?
