Strange English Phrases

As I came downstairs this morning, I heard my dad on the telephone. He used the phrase "it's like elephants and mating", evidently as an analogy for something. Have any of you heard the phrase before, and if so would you please care to enlighten me on it's use.

The second bizarre phrase of the day goes to the old packing box I came across in our garage. According to the print on the side it was designed to contain "Mansize Banded Packs". Of what, exactly?

I believe the phrase "it's like elephants and mating" is actually an analogy for something that is extremely difficult, awkard and time consuming but is nonetheless absolutley vital. As for the mansize box, well, the mind runs riot with ideas, none of which are suitable for mentionning on this otherwise respectabe blog!
