THE ZOO
An unemployed actor was getting pretty desperate for work. He happens upon
this guy from the zoo that's looking for actors. The guy explains that they
spent so much money on getting the habitat just right, they ran out of money
to import the ape they wanted. They want to hire an actor to be that ape.
Although the actor thinks this is pretty stupid, he takes the job anyway.
The first few days, the actor just sits there thinking he doesn't look real
and that no one is stupid enough to fall for this stunt. He gets bored and
decides to walk around and examine his little cage. With this, he notices
that people are watching his every move. He decides to give them a show.
After a couple weeks, he's swinging on the poles and dancing around making a
lot of gorilla noises and is drawing quite a crowd.
One day he's showing off for a group of kids. He is swinging around and
around a pole when all of a sudden, his hand slips and he goes flying over
the cage wall and right into the lion's cage. Immediately, the lion is
stalking him.
The actor backs up as far as he can, and when he sees no other option, he
starts screaming his lungs out. "HELP ME! HELP ME!" With that, the lion
whispers, "Shut up or you'll get us all fired!"
