A man went to the local zoo looking for work. The zookeeper said there was nothing available, but the fellow was persistent. The zookeeper finally
said that the zoo's only gorilla had died that morning. If the man would don a gorilla suit, get into the compound, and imitate a gorilla until
another one could be found, then the job was his.
The man gladly took the job and did quite well swinging from tree to tree while making faces at the crowd. The more he did, the more they cheered and
laughed. Of all the tricks he did, the one that really set them off was swinging out over the lion's den on a rope. He did this day after day, each
time getting a little more daring and a little closer to the lion. With each pass the lion would roar and paw the air, trying to snag the teasing
gorilla.
One day as he was swinging out farther than he had ever swung before, the rope broke, and down into the lion's den he went. The lion pounced,
whereupon the man began to scream bloody murder. Much to his surprise, the lion uttered in a stern voice, but not so loud as to be heard by the
screaming crowd, "Shut up, you fool, before we both lose our jobs!"
