How Much Cheese Would It Take To Sink An Elephant?

Dear folks,

Perhaps some bright spark among you could help me win an argument with a waitress from Belarus. The big question is quite simply this:

How much cheese would it take to sink an elephant?

I'm sure there are all sorts of deeply scientific factors in this question that I and she have not thought about. Like does cheese actualy sink? Does it depend on the kind of cheese? Does it depend on the kind of elephant? And so on.

But what are the variables and is there a ballpark, average answer to this critical problem?
