A man was flipping through the newspaper when he came to the want ads. He saw one that said, "Wanted: Help at Zoo". The man thought, 'I've always dreamed of working at a zoo. I think I'll apply for the job.'
So he cut the want ad out and went to the zoo. "I want to get the job here," he informed a zoo keeper. The zoo keeper looked at him closely and said, "Can you keep a secret?"
"Of course," the man said.
"Are you sure?"
"YES!"
"If you're sure. See, our gorilla died, and the thing is, that gorilla is our main attraction. I mean, we've got groundhogs and antelopes, but what everyone really comes to see is the gorilla. We have a new one coming in three weeks from now, but we can't afford to lose that much buisness. So I want you to dress up in a gorilla costume and pretend to be the gorilla."
"Won't they notice I'm a man?" the man said. But he tried on the costume, and saw that he looked just like the original gorilla.
"So, will you do it?"
The man thought for a moment, then finally agreed. "Alright, I want you in here at 8am sharp," the zoo keeper told him.
The next day, he arrived ready for work. He put on the costume, and the zoo keeper said, "I want you to sit on that stone and don't move a muscle. We don't want the kids to suspect anything."
The man sat down on the stone and the kids came pouring in. He sat there for five hours, and his bottom became a little sore. Finally, he decided that when no one was looking, he'd stretch. When he thought all eyes were away from him, he stretched.
One little kid saw him and yelled, "Look, Mommy! Look! The gorilla is moving!!!"
Realizing that he was gaining an audience, the man began to do tricks, moving around the cage, dragging his knuckles. The more he did, the more those kids screamed.
The man looked up and saw a vine. He decided to really give them a thrill by swinging on it. He got up and swung back and forth, higher and higher. The higher he went, the louder the kids got. Finally, when he was as high as he could get, the vine snapped, and he found himself flying through the air. He landed in the lion's cage.
Upon seeing his position, the man began screaming, "I'm a man! I'm not a gorilla! I'm a man in a gorilla costume!" The kids were amazed. "Mommy! The gorilla is talking!"
The man saw a large lion coming for him as he continued to plea for help. The lion jumped on him. The man could see the fires of rage burning in its eyes. Suddenly it said, "Shut your trap! You're gonna get us both fired!"
