Do you remember the Disney movie "Dumbo" from your childhood? Poor sweet little Dumbo, having taken a drink of water from a bucket spiked with champagne, begins to hallucinate singing and dancing "Pink Elephants on Parade." Perhaps Walt Disney got his idea from a 1913 novel by Jack London who described an alcoholic as one seeing "blue mice and pink elephants."
Is that bit of trivia worth including in my personal family history? I did love that movie.
