Nothing to it really.
You just start on the inside and work your way out but stop while there's still a bit left.
Your decent sort of elephant chappy won't mind this at all (and, indeed will keep on grazing, drinking at pools along the velde and occasionally rutting) so long as you steer clear of his major organs and such.

In any case you can't do these things to a quantum elephant due to the isochoric probability flows.

Besides what would you put on your passport, imagine how much longer imigration at JFK would be if you had "quantum elephant hollower" down as your occupation.

Although, you could convert the trunk into quite a good gun barrel....

So, if the trunk is a gun barrel, where do you load the ammo?

Behind the ears. Which, naturally enough, are used to steer.

"quantum elephant hollower" and "arms dealer" ? Suggest avoiding customs altogether.

Who said anything about arms? The elephant has a trunk. It does not need arms....

How can it open its trunk without arms?

Re: Welcome back bunyip

If it can be used as a weapon is it truly 'armless?
