I had the least stressful job in the world: traffic man for the 3 am local news. Usually I just got in front of the camera and said, "Open roads, folks!" But tonight was different.

At about 2 am the traffic cams started blinking out. It began on the highways and went to the crosstown like a virus. Our news team was blind. Then our switchboard lit up.

I did it again. The elephant was clearly the bride. I'm sorry. :<

I don't think it's clear what gender the Elephant is - so I don't think you need to apologise :)

You're right--it's not as if we need constant reminding of the realistic contrariness to perceived social mores. I think we've struck a victorious enough blow against a conservative society's expectations by promoting marriage for proboscidea. Though she /was/ carrying the bouquet.

You've convinced me - the Elephant was carrying the bouquet so you should apologise. (However the bouquet originated as a bunch of flowers of apology suggested by the coordinator of the anger management course the Elephant had to attend because of the incident. Useless, of course, as the Elephant immediately had a problem with the grapes.)
