The President's Secret Invisible Elephant Repellent

Someone leaked the fact that President bush has been using some secret invisible elephant repellent. At first the bush administration denied the report but later they admitted they were using the secret invisible elephant repellent and damn, it was working. The people demanded to know the contents of the repellent but the administration said if they revealed the secret content, the repellent would no longer be invisible and would no longer work in preventing herds of stampeding elephants from roaring across our land.

The people railed and demanded to know the contents of the repellent. They were getting angry. They wanted proof that the repellent worked.

As luck would have it, just at that moment the administration said they could reveal a time when the repellent had been proven to be effective. They told the people that not so very long ago they knew a herd of elephants was moving in on California. They went into action and they said that they sprayed the entire state with their secret invisible elephant repellent. Presto chang-o, no elephants trampled California.

There were no pictures of the threatening elephants and no elephant footprints were found outside the state, but President bush swears his magic invisible repellent saved California from sure elephant related destruction. But would the people buy his story?
