An unemployed man who had been out of work for ages was thrilled
when he was sent to the local zoo, which had an unexpected
vacancy. “It is boring work,” said the head keeper, “but all of
our monkeys have run away, so get into this monkey suit and climb
into the cage next to our lions.” The man did as he was told.
After a few minutes, he started to get bold and was jumping around
like a monkey, all of sudden he jumped up against the fence between
his cage and the lion cage and the fence collapsed. The man looked
at the lion and panicked “don’t eat me!” pleaded the man. “I’m not
really a monkey, I’m a person a very skinny person,” “Be quite”
said the lion “you’ll get us both sacked.”

A man was visiting London zoo. In the elephant house, he finds
the biggest elephant he has ever seen, it is enormous, almost
blocking out the light. Just before leaving the zoo, he decides
to take one more look at the mighty creature, but instead finds
a sign saying the famous elephant has just died. There is a young
keeper sitting and weeping near the sign. “You must be very
distressed” says the man “where you very close to the magnificent
creature?” “Not really” sobs the lad. “I have been told it is my
job to bury it!”
