You watch a couple, and it's wondrous. After a while it's repetitive. Yeah, I got it, they're listening. It's not like the elephants are dancing or anything. But they really seem to be listening.

I read this on my phone and thought it said "Plano for elephants." As in, Plano, Tx for elephants.

There is a surprising amount of shit involving elephants, going on in Plano.

• The North Texas Performing Arts Center put on a production of The Elephant Man in April.
• The Dallas Zoo got some new elephants in 2016.
• The Days Inn in Plano has paper-thin walls, and one dude stayed there in 2016 next to a family of elephants who were awake into the wee hours.
• The Plano Senior High School choir's booster club put on a show in 2017, a celebration of American Vocal Jazz called Jazz Without Elephants. "Our show 'Jazz Without Elephants' is quite simply a show that focuses on the vocal performance without all the fancy costumes, sets, and lighting, the 'Elephants'."
• The Plano Middle School Percussion Camp attendees performed "Baby Elephant Walk" in 2009. The Plano public schools are a hotbed of musical inspriration.
• And there's a company called Elephant Trunk Moving Supplies located in Plano (closed right now, but re-opens 8am tomorrow).
