Funny Joke Of The Day

The only gorilla at the zoo dies right before the zoo opens one day. The gorilla is their most popular attraction by far, and they cannot afford to go a day without it. So the zoo owner tells one of his workers he’ll be paid an extra $100 a day if he wears a gorilla suit they have in storage and pretends to be the gorilla in the cage until the zoo can afford a new one.

Quickly, the new “gorilla” becomes the most popular craze at the zoo. People from all over are coming to see the “human-like” gorilla. About a month in, the craze has started to wear off. So, to get everyone’s attention back, the gorilla-worker decides to climb over his enclosure and hang from the net ceiling above the lion’s den next to his cage. A large crowd of people gathers, watching the spectacle in awe and terror.

Suddenly the man loses his grip and falls to the floor of the lion’s den. Not wanting to die an ignominious death in a gorilla suit, the man starts screaming “HELP! HELP!” A lion quickly pounces on him from behind and whispers in his ear, “Shut the hell up right now or you’re going to get us both fired.”
