Zoo Tales

Okay, I heard one more story. I'll tell you the story then call it a day.

A man is down on his luck, big time. He lost his job, ran out of unemployment, and just can't seem to get a break. A friend comes by and says, "Joe, I saw there is some sort of job opening at the zoo. Why don't you check it out."

Joe knows nothing about animals, but what the hey, it's a job.

During the interview, the zoo director says, "I'm sorry, that position has been filled, but I do have one more I think you might be perfect for."

"Oh, what is it," asked Joe.

"Well, we recently lost our Gorilla and he was our most popular exhibit. We are looking for someone to don a Gorilla suit and play Gorilla all day. The pay is good and it's a fun job."

"Well, I guess I could, sure."


The next morning Joe puts on the Gorilla suit and makes a few Gorilla noises, postures a bit, and swings from some vines. Each day he gets more rambunctious. The zoo has never seen such crowds around one exhibit. One day, Joe gets so carried away swinging on the vines that he flies right out of his area into the lion exhibit next door. The lion looks at him menacingly and begins to stalk him with an evil eye. Joe is scared spitless and backs away from the lion. Suddenly, the lion roars at Joe ferociously. Joe screams "Oh my God, help me, help me." The lion gets up close and mumbles in his ear, "Shut up stupid, or you'll get us both fired."

Shut up stupid or you'll
 get us both fired
