A performing street mime gets a job at a zoo, entertaining kids.
A week or two into the job he starts doing his routine when the zoo manager calls him into his office. He explains, "I can't let you perform your show in our zoo, it's distracting to the other visitors attention away from the animals. But, I have a job offer for you. One of our gorillas just died recently, and he was one of our most popular exhibits. We'd like to hire you to put on this gorilla suit and stay in his cage during zoo hours, at least until we can get a replacement gorilla."
The mime thinks it's a pretty good deal, so he accepts.
At first, the mime is having a great time pretending to be an ape, but pretty soon he gets bored. After exploring his cage for a bit, he realizes that he can climb the walls, open a hatch on the roof, and climb over the top of the cages to the lion cage next door. He starts tormenting the lion, banging on the top of the cage and watching the lion growl, snarl, try to jump up and grab him and generally pace around, becoming increasingly pissed off.
One day, the mime is up to his usual tricks, tormenting the living daylights out of the lion, when, suddenly, the hatch on the top of the lion cage breaks open, and the mime falls in. The lion starts chasing the mime in the gorilla suit, who panics and starts running around, shouting, "Help! Help! It's gonnae eat me!" The lion pounces, pins down the mime, and whispers angrily,
"Shut up, ya stupit cunt! Do you want baith ae' us tae get oor jotters?"
I like him ... He says "Okie Dokie!"
