At the Zoo

A zoo keeper asked a big, strong fellow:

``Want a job?''

``Doing what?'' he asked.

``Our gorilla died,'' the zoo keeper replied. '`If we got you a special suit, would you imitate him for several days?''

``Yes sir!'' he answered.

He did very well, until one day he accidentally entered in the lion's den ``Help!'' he yelled.

``Shut up, you idiot!'' cried the man dressed as a lion. '`You'll get us both fired''
