"Zoo Employment"

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 isn't 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!"
