WHY INVITE A ZEBRA INTO THE PARLOR?

It was an exceptionally hot east African day, and the quick approaching coolness of evening was welcomed. As the Land Rover headlights moved around the last dusty turn before entering the small farm they sweeped across a tragic scene: several hyenas attacking a wounded Zebra and her baby who was no more than two or three hours old. Zebra generally stay in herds for safety; how and why she was here alone, who knows?
Our surprise arrival scared the hyena off a short distance, which a rifle shot aimed high, extended considerably. Just as we walked up to the zebras the mother collapsed and died from a terrible wound infection from days before. The hyena had only brought the end, a little sooner.
Minutes later my friends wife invited us into their little farms parlor where the generated light was brightest. Here we gave help and attention to our little hyena-bitten zebra and fed her warm cows milk. To this day, if the door is left open, she's been known to go into the parlor. She likes it there.

Actually it wasn't warm milk brought in to the parlor that night, but rather the neighbors brought lots of cold beer. And the baby zebra, well, it was invited in on a stick freshly barbecued, as were three of the hyena. Which, made it a three dog night.

Is this anything like having a white elephant in the room?
Or..........anything like having a PINK elephant next to it?

Why NOT invite a Zebra into your parlour? My parlour is good enough for any Zebra.

So you can cross safely from one side of the room to the other after the highways agency have opened the 8th lane of the M25 which now runs straight through the middle of your house.

Because the Watchtower Society says it's a sin to be in the company of zebras unless they stay in the parlor.
(sorry--it's Monday morning and I'm not a morning person)

because you needed that little something to bring the room together.
