"THE UNEMPLOYED ACTOR"
An unemployed actor was getting very desperate to find work. He
finally meets a guy from the municipal zoo who was looking for actors. The
actor was told that the zoo has spent so much money to get the habitat
conditions just right, that they run out of money to import the ape they
wanted. He offered to hire the actor to act as an ape using an almost
real-looking costume. The actor felt that this was a stupid idea, but he
takes the job anyway.
The first few days, the actor just sits there thinking he doesn't
look real and that no one was stupid enough to fall for the stunt. he gets
bored and decides to walk around and examines his little cage. With this,
he noticed that people were watching his every move.
He decides to give them a show and started swinging on the poles,
jumping and tumbling around, thumping on his chest and making a lot of
gorilla noises. He was able to draw quite a crowd and was becoming the main
attraction in the zoo.
One day, he was showing some stunts to a group of kids. He started
swinging around and around a pole, when all of a sudden, his hand slips and
he goes flying over the cage wall and right into the lion's den. He sat on
the floor and noticed a fierce-looking lion stalking on him.
The actor backs up as far as he can, and when he sees no escape
from being devoured, he starts screeming at the top of his voice, "HELP ME!
HELP ME!" With that, the lion yells, "Shut up you fool or you'll get both
of us fired!"
