@the_london_spy: Everyone groans when they hear the joke un oeuf being enough, and I found evidence that it was in existence in at least 1826 . The magazine however, was purchased because of the dreadful story of the death of the elephant Chunee. That’s so shocked Georgian London and led to the creation of the Royal Society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. Please read the details for the absolutely horrifying method by which Chunee was effectively executed Chunee had been imported into London, and initially was a stage elephant, performing at the Royal Opera house. ##thelondonspy##davidharry##oldjokes##georgianlondon##elephant##londonhistory #rspca
