Tough times for 800 pound elephant handlers this Thanks giving Black Friday

800 pound gorilla handlers are challenging the traditional role of 800 pound elephant handlers this Black Friday.

Times are tough says Shiela Barnett 800 pound elephant handler. These new guys  with the 800 pound gorillas are changing the market of keeping an 800 pound animal hidden in a small room. 800 pound Gorilla's are easier to manage and cheaper to keep hidden in a small room adds Ms. Barnett.  It's a metaphor for the weak economy. The 800 pound elephant has traditionally been a symbol for the debt most Americans secretly carry which should deter shopping on black Friday; retailers new most important day of the shopping season.

800 pound Panda bears from China are also competing  for market share adds the American society of 800 pound elephant handlers.

Times are tough say Shiela Barnett. Still Ms. Barnett is optimistic. We can always fall back on our traditional  markets of aging forgetful parents, handicapped children or under performing students on standardized test scores opined Ms. Barnett.
