One day an out of work mime was visiting and hoping to earn some money. The
zookeeper explained that the zoo's most popular attraction, a gorilla had
died suddenly. He offered the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla until
they could get a new one. The mime accepted.

The next morning the mime put on the gorilla suit and entered the cage. It
was a great job. He could sleep all he wanted, play and make fun of people
and he drew bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime. But, eventually the
crowds tired of him and began to pay more attention to the lion in the cage
next to his.


In an effort to recapture their attention, he climbed to the top of his
cage, crawled across a partition, and dangled from the top of the lion's
cage. The lion was mad, but the crowd loved it so much that the zoo keeper
came and gave the mime a raise.


Each time the mime taunted the lion, he got bigger and bigger raises. But
one day he slipped and fell into the lion?s cage.


The mine ran, but the lion finally caught up with the mime and had him
pinned to the ground. The mime was screaming and fighting for his life,
yelling ?Someone help me, PLEASE, help me!!!!?


The lion leaned over and said, ?Shut up you moron! Do you want to get us
both fired??
