A man goes to the circus and it happens that they are having a contest. A $2,000 prize to be given if anyone can make Bobo the elephant jump in the air three feet.
Many people in the audience try, saying "Jump Bobo jump" and "Pretty please jump Bobo" till this one man goes up, grabs a wooden mallet that they use for pitching tents and gives the elephant a swift strike to his jewels. Sure enough he jumps three feet.
Well the ring master pays out the money but now what will he do for the new challenge, as it was a drawing card for attendance. So he decides the next night he will give $2,000 to the first person that can make Bobo shake his head yes and shake his head no.
The next evening at challenge time many people try but fail. Then the man who was there from the previous night returns and goes up to the elephant and just whispers in his ear.
The elephant shakes his head yes and then no. The ring master pays up but says "Please mister how did you get Bobo to do that?" The man replies, "I just asked Bobo if he remembered him and did he want that mallet again."
