This guy needs a job and decides to apply at the zoo. As it happened,
their star attraction, a gorilla, had passed away the night before and they had
carefully preserved his hide. They tell this guy that they'll pay him
well if he would dress up in the gorilla's skin and pretend to be the gorilla so
people will keep coming to the zoo.
Well, the guy has his doubts, but Hey! He needs the money, so he puts
on the skin and goes out into the cage. The people all cheer to see him.
He plays up to the audience and they just eat it up. This isnt so bad, he
thinks, and he starts really putting on a show, jumping around, beating
his chest and roaring, swinging around.
During one acrobatic attempt, though, he loses his balance and crashes
through some safety netting, landing square in the middle of the lion
cage! As he lies there stunned, the lion roars. He's terrified and starts
screaming, "Help, Help, Help!"
The lion races over to him, places his paws on his chest and hisses,
"Shut up or we'll BOTH lose our jobs!"
