Dire Straits Zoo

A little joke I came up with: -

Not many people know this, but after Dire Straits split up as a band, their members went on to open a zoo. I visited it and happened to run into Mark Knopfler. Since I was a big fan of his, he agreed to guide me around.

First Mark showed me a childrens' section full of young domesticated animals like sheep and cows, which he told me was called "*Brothers In Farms*". Then he led me down a woodland track with where we saw rabbits, hedgehogs and even some bats. That was called the "*Walk of Wildlife*".

I wasn't too impressed, so asked Mark what else they had.
"Well," he replied, "our star attraction is the simian house."
"I suppose that's named after a Dire Straits song as well," I said, "*Sultans of Swing*?"
"No, too obvious," said Mark. "*Primate Investigations*".

We went on to the primate enclosure and it was huge and very impressive, with all kinds of monkeys running around showing off. However I noticed that they didn't seem to have any gorillas.
"Why aren't there any gorillas here?" I asked Mark.
"It's mainly for cost reasons," he replied.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, *we get our monkeys for nothin' and our chimps for free!*"
