Catching elephants

I was clearing out some old files, and came across this. It's an old joke, but the combined insanity of the cult-tv crew made it something rather more special. H. Petard's classic paper A Contribution to the Mathematical Theory of Big Game Hunting is also required reading.

MATHEMATICIANS hunt elephants by going to Africa, throwing out everything that is not an elephant, and catching one of whatever is left.
