Koohii Story 1 "There's a knock on my door, and it's the local dentist accompanied by an elephant. The latter is a patient, and the dentist explains that he wants to drill a hole in its tusk, but his normal dentist's drill is too small, so could he borrow my big DIY drill. Anyway, I drill the hole in the tusk for him."
Koohii Story 2 "No drill? Pfft, just use this here tusk as a drill and make all the holes you can!"
