A plethora of polymer pachyderms

This is Chris.... When he came to "us" he looked about 12 years old.
Initially, when he was driving we were so worried that he would be stopped by the police for stealing an ambulance, because he looked so young. Since then, due to working with us, he has aged considerably and now looks the ripe old age of nineteen. Drawing a beard on him at the start of every shift helps as well.
Anyhoos .... after posting the blip about Shrek on Tuesday and his penchant for creating nitrile glove elephants, I ask Shrek to produce one to show the blip family. On seeing the finished product, Chris decided that he must learn how to create the same.
At first, he so wish he hadn't!
Shrek has a hankering for Strongman contests, so has the lung capacity and force of a cart horse. Chris who has a hankering for an easy life, has the lungs of a seahorse. It took the poor little bugger several attempts to even blow up the first flacid envelope let alone keep the air in it once filled.
Each attempt was met with "encouragement" (constructive as well as destructive) from the assembled "clinically led, patient focused" audience. Finally he managed to produce one which was near the standard of Shrek's model only slightly smaller.
Chris was encouraged, not so much by the sniggers of the audience, but by a new found use for his lungs. Several more polymer pachyderms were created by "The Boy" each getting bigger and better by the effort. A couple fell foul of Shrek's apparent disdain at being outmastered and "out-PEF'd" by the quick learning student and were dispatched cleanly and clinically to the equivalent of the elephants graveyard.

Would like to report that the rest survived the end of shift and now happily form a small herd around the crewroom.

By the way, in the picture, Shrek's "measly" effort is the one in the middle.
