Joke of the Day
For December 23, 2017
An unemployed worker was trying to find a new job, with no success. His factory had closed and work was scarce for somebody without a college degree.
He finally saw an add in a local newspaper for a position at a zoo. In the interview, the manager told him that their only gorilla, which had been a star attraction, had recently died. It would take some time to find a new gorilla. Meanwhile, they needed someone to dress up as a gorilla and pretend to be the animal.
Desperate for money, the worker accepted the job.
The next day, he put on a gorilla skin and headgear and entered a cage from a rear entrance. Visitors smiled at him and threw bread. After a few days, he really got into the act. He jumped up and down, beat his chest and roared as people cheered.
A week into the job, he entered the wrong cage by accident and found himself staring at a lion. The lion roared and rushed toward him. The scared man turned and ran for the door, screaming, “Help! Help!”
The lion leaped onto the gorilla, knocked him to the ground and whispered in his ear, “Hey, it’s me Leonard, your former co-worker. Shut up or we’ll both lose our jobs!”
