The State of Griz Football

Well-known member
EGriz has, if nothing else, a wide variety of opinions on any topic. I have chosen 'The State of Griz Football' to illustrate my point.

The Parable:

A group of blind men heard that a strange animal, called an elephant, had been brought to the town, but none of them were aware of its shape and form. Out of curiosity, they said: "We must inspect and know it by touch, of which we are capable". So, they sought it out, and when they found it they groped about it. The first person, whose hand landed on the trunk, said, "This being is like a thick snake". For another one whose hand reached its ear, it seemed like a kind of fan. As for another person, whose hand was upon its leg, said, the elephant is a pillar like a tree-trunk. The blind man who placed his hand upon its side said the elephant, "is a wall". Another who felt its tail, described it as a rope. The last felt its tusk, stating the elephant is that which is hard, smooth and like a spear.


These seven men are all right, from their vantage point.
There is an eighth person, on eGriz, the one being told of this Parable who will say, "I don't get it."
 
A ninth blind man walks up to the elephant, gently puts his hand up near the beast's massive mouth and feels for the first time a long extend steam of hot air. " This animal must be a bobcat troll!"
 
I was waiting for the guy who got stuck holding the dick.
I'll just bet there were EIGHT blind men in the original parable, but he caught the eye(so to speak)of the elephant when he grabbed the dick and began 'examining' it. Being a straight elephant, he promptly stomped #8 into paste. My Devanagari Hindi is a little rusty, so bear with me while I research the question.
