Thanks Mark; I replied to this thread before reading your explanation, which
clears things up nicely!

hmm, well at least they didn't say twice as long as the neck is LONG.

Mark,

Because of your infinite wisdom you certainly remember the following:

In New York there were a bunch of young jewish men [about 20 years ago] who
apparently had done their school homework very well and they had found out
that eating a giraffe would be okay for them.
But aware that rules and laws sometimes could be tricky, they first asked
the New York board of rabbi's to give their opinion.

In spite of several urgent requests the answer let wait for several years,
but satisfied all parties: they were right about eating the giraffe, but
-alas- because of the long neck a kosher slaughter of this noble animal was
not possible.
