This dio attempt was posted today on the Swedish IPMS site as this guys first atttempt at a dio. His reference work for rubber dinghys has let him down... slightly. Of course he didnt include his name.
A very funny idea.... I thought you guys would enjoy this!

What you might not "see" is the fact that the Elaphant is rolling over condoms...
