working at the zoo
« on: Jul 07, 2020, 02:59:13 PM »
A  man starts his new job at the zoo and is given three tasks. First is to clear the exotic fish pool of weeds. As he does this, a huge fish jumps out and bites him. To show the others who is boss he beats it to death with a shovel. Realising his employer won't be best pleased, he disposes of the fish by feeding it to the lions, since lions will eat anything.
Moving on to the second job of clearing out the Chimp house, he is attacked by the chimps that pelt him with coconuts. He swipes at two chimps with a shovel, killing them both. What can he do? Feed them to the lions, he says to himself, because lions eat anything. He hurls the corpses into the lion enclosure.
He moves on to the last job, which is to collect honey from the South American Bees. As soon as he starts he is attacked by the bees. He grabs the shovel and smashes the bees to a pulp. By now he knows what to do and throws them in with the lions.Later that day a new lion arrives at the zoo. He wanders up to another lion and says, "What's the food like here?"The old lion says ..."Absolutely brilliant. Today we had fish and chimps with mushy bee

You'll get groans for sure as that is the tradition but as so many shaggy dog stories go that one had me hooked right to the punchline.  ;D ;D ;D
So long and thanks for all the fish
