A Joke [Jul. 15th, 2009|03:45 pm]

[Current Mood | amused]

Someone sent me this joke the other day, I thought it was hilarious. I make no apologies for offending anyone!

A man starts a new job at the zoo. The first job he's given to do is to clean out the fish. As he's wading about in the water the fish attack him, swinging his spade he kills a couple of them.

'Oh no,' he thought 'I've killed the fish, what shall I do with them?' he thinks for a minute and then has an idea, 'I know,' he thinks 'I'll feed them to the lions, the lions will eat anything.'

So off he goes and feeds the fish to the lions.

A little while later he starts to clean out the monkey house. As he's moving the bedding around two chimps attack him. Defending himself he swings his spade and kills them as well.

'Oh no,' he thinks, 'Not again, I've killed the chimps, whatever shall I do with them?' He thinks for a little while and then remembers the fish, 'I know I'll feed them to the lions, they'll eat anything.'

So off he goes and throws the chimps to the lions.

Later on he's given the job of tidying up the bee hives. As he begins his work the bees start to attack him. Defending himself he again swings his spade, again and again until all that's left is a squishy pile of bees.

'Damn!' He thinks, I don't know my own strength, I've killed all the bees, what shall I do with this mess? I know I'll feed them to the lions, they'll eat anything.'

So off he goes and feeds the bees to the lions.

Later on a new lion is put in the cage with the others. He ambles up to the old lion and says 'Hiya mate! What's the food like in here?'

Here's The Punchline )
