The elephant is sitting next to you at one of those big round tables, looking exceedingly uncomfortable in a rented tuxedo, grumpily munching buns and bananas and necking down large quantities of champagne straight from the bottle, scowling all over his face, while all the other guests pick their way through the fancy food and make small talk. He gets more and more impatient as the evening wears on, and eventually, when it comes to the winners being announced, he's right at the end of his tether. You and the elephant come in second, beaten to the first prize by somebody who has placed a dead halibut in a toilet. You do your best to look pleased for the winner and applaud enthusiastically, but the elephant suddenly loses it: he leaps up from his seat with an angry trumpet, upending the table, and starts stampeding round the room smashing everything in his path, while the guests and judges panic and rush for the exits. He grabs hold of Nicolas Serota and flings him head-first into the gateau trolley. Then the police arrive and knock him out with a tranquilliser dart. Good times!

Great material for a book too! My favourite one is 'If I collaborate with an elephant to make an artwork is that elephant my fellow artist?' That really appeals to me. First of all, you immediately start to wonder what kind of artwork the elephant could participate in - elephant footprints on a canvas? an elephant with a paintbrush in its trunk? maybe something displayed on the sides of the elephant? Secondly, who wouldn't want an elephant as a fellow artist? And just imagine the presentation if you won the Turner Prize!
