Once upon a time...

...there was a very large and interesting (not in a good way) animal, that only wore pyjamas and bicycle clips. The clips were attached to a piece of string which linked the poor animal to an unknown object far far away.

Did you know that giraffes have a foot long tongue? The giraffe's name was Shirley (which will become important later) and was mightily tall, but not as tall as his cousin Alfred, with whom he had a horrendous rivalry. On the road he met number of other beings but when he met the small monkey named Jam Jam, he decided to ask him along for the ride because his opposable thumbs would come in handy.

'I am serious and don't call me Shirley. Shirley is the giraffe and fell off a cliff.' The animal was intrigued how the worm with antlers knew this, and also how Shirley had fallen off a cliff without him, but decided these questions should be left to the ether and continued on his journey into the unknown with Jam Jam (cue Jaws type music). At one point they found a cliff and decided to proclaim rather loudly that they were they walrus coo coo ca choo, but that's another story. No its not, its this story - after announcing this, they all fell off the cliff, they all survived but found they had lost their limbs, which was unfortunate, but they shuffled along nonetheless. Mr. Snail said that the reason they had all fallen of the cliff was because they had failed...
