The gorilla at the local zoo dies......
........of old age just before the zoo opens for the day. It is the only gorilla at the zoo as they don't have much money and make little profit.
Problem is the gorilla is their most popular attraction by far and without him they are likely to lose customers, and they cannot afford to stay open without him as an attraction.
So the zoo owner has an idea and asks one of his workers to wear a gorilla suit they have and if they agree they will get an extra £100 a day if they pretend to be the gorilla and entertain visitors until the zoo can afford to get another one. The employee agrees, dresses up and he heads into the enclosure to start entertaining the visitors and is an immediate hit with them.
Very quickly, the new 'gorilla' again becomes the most popular animal at the zoo. Crowds are increasing and, as word gets out, people are travelling from all over the country to see the 'human-like' gorilla.
After a couple of months, the interest has started to tail off and visitor numbers are in decline again.
So, to get peoples' attention, he decides to climb over his enclosure and hang from the cage roofing above the lions den next to his enclosure. A large crowd of people starts to gather watching the spectacle open-mouthed in awe.
Suddenly the man loses his grip and falls to the floor of the lion's den. The man starts screaming and shouting to be rescued.
Out of nowhere, like a flash, a lion leaps from some rocks, jumps onto him from behind and whispers in his ear.......
"Shut the up right now or you're going to get us both fired"

A zookeeper starts work at his new job on a Friday to break him into things before a fresh week. For his first duty he is sent to clear out the aviary.
He is happily sweeping away when suddenly he hears a "crunch". To his dismay he looks down to find he has accidentally trodden on & killed a rare finch. Not wanting to get in trouble he panics, scoops up the bird & throws it in the lion enclosure, the hungry lion gobbling it up. He returns to his supervisor, and for his next duty gets send to feed the chimps in the chimp house. He starts to play with the chimps throwing them fruit, letting them swing off his broom. In his exuberance however, he manages to knock a chimp off balance that falls awkwardly from a tree & breaks his neck. "Oh no" he thinks .. "I've killed 2 animals on my first day .. I'm bound to get sacked".
So again, while nobody is looking he picks up the chimp & throws him in the lion's enclosure where the lion gobbles him up. Sheepishly he returns to his supervisor, who unknowingly is pleased with his work. For his final task of the day the supervisor sends him to the beehives. The zoo keeps its own bees to sell honey in the shop. His task is to collect the honeycombs to make the honey. This time all seems to be going fine, until a bee gets inside his mask. Frantically he trys to swat the bee, but topples over onto the hive, smashing it & crushing all the other bees!
To avoid the sack once more, he scoops up the crushed bees & throws them to the lion. Next day, there's a new arrival at the zoo ... a mate for the lion. "What's the food like here?" asks the new arrival. "Oh, you know" says the lion... "Just the usual Friday stuff... Finch & Chimps with Mushy Bees..."Gordon
