We all know what a trumpeting elephant sounds like. An absolutely unmistakeable sound!
I'm pretty sure elephants aren't indigenous to The Philippines; nor have I seen a sign pointing to the Baguio City Zoo so it came as somewhat of a surprise to hear one trumpeting quite closely as I ate dinner tonight. And it didn't trumpet just the once or twice; it kept on trumpeting.
I'm a curious bastard and I had to find out what it was I was hearing. Was someone listening to a CD of elephant song? So I went poking about and discovered it was the hinges on the door from the kitchen. Everytime a waiter entered or exited the elephant trumpeted.
Quite a remarkable hinge. It'll be a pity if someone decides to oil it!
