I don't understand the following joke. Please explain. Thank you.
-------- the following ------------
Jessica: How do you get down from an elephant?
Garam: By using a ladder?
Jessica: No. You don't get down from an elephant. You get down from a duck. Are you following me? |

Actually, it's not a very good joke, but the key is that "down" also means soft fluffy feathers. (birds like ducks and geese line their nests with these feathers)
A better joke would be:
A...How do you get down from an elephant?
B...You don't get down from an elephant; you get down from a duck. |
