    A car tyre. (I'm English).

    Wow.

    I've seen this before, but only ever when I was at the level of items I couldn't imagine. I've actually picked up a tyre.

    I've lost an elephant’s heart

    Never seen and elephant's heart, but the 5 gallon of bottled water hits home. I am usually the one stuck replacing ours on our work water cooler. That's a lot of weight that I was carrying around. And I have more than that left to lose. :noway:
