Unlike
Unlike all other animals, (which are stupid,)
I think elephants are okay.

On the other handA) Animals need wings to fly, and
so as most animals don't have wings, they suffer long boring
somewhat stationary lives. On the the other hand, they don't need
language to communicate among themselves, so their lives are a lot simpler, and often more relaxed and enjoyable, in that aspect.

On the other handB) Most animals need wings to fly, and so as most animals don't have
wings, they suffer long boring somewhat stationary lives.
Elephants, on the other hand, are able to fly by using their big ears, which may look stupid, but is still
better than being stupid.

I like both Coca Cola and tequila, a lot, though I never mix them into one drink. While I drink Coca Cola for its refreshingly divine sparkling flavor, I only enjoy tequila for the warm happy
effect it brings. Tequila is very good for that, but it must be drunk straight, and quickly too. Its
smell and taste are nauseating. Get it all down as soon as you can so you can carry on enjoying finer things, like Coca Cola. On the other hand,
people argue that that's the reason you put Coke or Squirt with it, to make the flavor more
tolerable. I don't see it that way, however. When you mix in tequila, you're totally ruining the pristine flavor of a cold delicious Coca Cola.
You're also prolonging that sickening flavor that, although diluted, is lessening the happy effect of
the tequila as well.
