Q: What did Tarzan say to Jane when he saw the elephants coming?
\nA: Here come the elephants.
\nElephant jokes are seen by many commentators as symbolic of the culture of the United States and the UK in the 1960s. Oring notes that elephant jokes dismiss conventional questions and answers, repudiate established wisdom, and reject the authority of traditional knowledge. He draws a parallel between this and the counterculture of the 1960s, stating that “disestablishment was the purpose of both,” pointing to the sexual revolution and noting that “[p]erhaps it was no accident that many of the elephant jokes emphasized the intrusion of sex into the most innocuous areas.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
