How many rabbits are used in elephant stew?

INGREDIENTS:
1 elephant
salt & pepper
2 rabbits (optional)

DIRECTIONS:
First, cut the elephant into bite-size pieces. This will probably take about 2 weeks.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Cook over kerosene fire at 475-degrees for 8 days.

NOTES:
This will serve 1,360 people. If more are expected, add two rabbits. Do this only if necessary as most people don't like to find a hare in their stew.
