Seeing Pink Elephants

In the cartoon world that means you're drunk.  In Thailand, it's a chance to get rich.  After releasing some catfish, Nuch and I stopped by another temple that worships Ganesh, the popular Hindu god.





In front of his statue are several man-sized rats with large ears.



You put some money in the rat's mouth and then you whisper into his ear that you would like to be wealthy.



I thought people were hugging the rat, but they were reaching around to plug its opposite ear.  I can only imagine why.




We didn't try it, so I guess I will need to continue working for a living.
