An unemployed man was walking past the zoo one day when he noticed a sign on the gate which read "Help Wanted, apply within". Encouraged he decided to try and find out more....
The Zoo Keeper explained to the man that one of their prize animals is a Silverback Gorilla but he's very sick and with the Summer months approaching, the Zoo, like many, cannot afford to lose the income. The Keeper goes on to explain the duties of the role. He says to the man "I need somebody to wear this Gorilla costume and take residence in the Gorilla house for the Summer". The unemployed man finds himself thinking that not only would it be an income it would be a really interesting job among animals. making people happy and educating children. So he eagerly accepts.
Following a brief period of Gorilla mannerism training and puffing out his shoulders whilst he thumps his own chest viciously, the now employed man soon finds himself sitting in the grass and trees with the public pointing and smiling and wowing and taking pictures, they seem particularly delighted when he makes faces at them or when he's rolling around on the floor or when he's using the tyre swing....... Which is where things start to go wrong!
After a few days and with much exuberance and confidence, the tyre swinging became greater and faster and higher and oooops he looses his grip, tumbles through the air, over the fence and into the next enclosure.
Once the tweeting birds around his head had disappeared and he managed to sit up, he notices quite quickly that he has landed in with the Lions, and they have noticed him too, already stalking in a spaced circular pattern! With a quickly beating heart he remembers that he's a Gorilla and this is the best defence that he has, by far...... So he gathers his bravery, stands tall puffs his chest out and starts smashing on it with his fists, screaming, bearing his teeth, growling, showing the whites of his eyes through his Gorilla mask. The Lions pause for a second, look at each other, a little confused, but not fooled! The stalking and creeping resumes and they draw ever closer.
Now in a little more panic, thinking that his life is more important than his job, not really knowing what else to do. He tears of his Gorilla mask and starts clinging to the bars of the enclosure for dear life, pleading with people, begging them, "Help me help me I'm not a Gorilla I'm a person, help me".
And that's the moment when the big male lead Lion pounced!!!!! Pinning him to the ground, Snarling and frowning..... And whispers in his ear "shut your mouth @*%? or we're all going to get fired"! HAAAAA!
