While attempting to earn some money as a street performer at the zoo, an out-of-work mime got an offer from the zookeeper. The zoo's most popular attraction, the gorilla, had suddenly died and the zookeeper wanted the mime to dress up like a gorilla to keep attendance up until another gorilla was found. The mime accepted the offer. The next morning, he suited up and entered the gorilla cage before the crowds arrived. He had a great time sleeping, playing, swinging on tires, and making fun of people, but eventually the crowds were tiring of his antics and started paying more attention to the lion in the next cage. The mime wanted the attention by this point, so he climbed to the top of his cage, crawled across a partition and dangled from the top of the lion's cage. The visitors loved it. At the end of the day, the zookeeper gave him a raise for keeping the crowds so entertained. This continued for several days, with the crowds growing larger all the time. But one day, the mime slipped and fell into the lion's cage. The lion prepared to pounce on the terrified man. The mime ran around the cage, yelling and screaming for help, but the lion was quick and pinned him to the ground.
He looked up at the lion with fear showing through his gorilla mask, when the lion growled and said, "Shut up you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?" ______________________________________________________ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List "Welcome to RollTideFan! Wear a cup!"
