I lol'd

Scrubone's posted a few good jokes recently, here's the best one...

One day an out of work actor named Tim is visiting the zoo and attempts to earn some money as a street performer.

Unfortunately, as soon as he starts to draw a crowd, a zoo keeper grabs him and drags him into his office. The zoo keeper explains to Tim that the zoo's most popular attraction, a gorilla has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will fall off. He offers the actor a job to dress up as the gorilla until they can get another one. Tim accepts.

So the next morning Tim puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before crowd comes. He discovers that its a great job. He can sleep all he wants, play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as an actor.

However, eventually the crowds tire of him and he tires of just swinging on tires. He begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition, and dangles from the top to the lions cage. Of course, this makes the lion furious, but the crowd loves it.

At the end of the day the zoo keeper comes and gives Tim a raise for being such a good attraction. Well, this goes on for some time, Tim keeps taunting the lion, the crowds grow larger, and his salary keeps going up.

Then one terrible day when he is dangling over the furious lion he slips and falls. Tim is terrified. The lion gathers itself and prepares to pounce. Tim is so scared that he begins to run round and round the cage with the lion close behind. Finally, he starts screaming and yelling, ‘Help, Help me!’, but the lion is quick and pounces.

The actor soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says, ‘Shut up you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?’
