One day, the janitor at the zoo is approached by the manager...

"Look, janitor", says the manager. "Our most popular gorilla just died, and its gonna be a couple of weeks before our new gorilla ships in. The kids come from all over just to see this gorilla, and our admission sales are gonna drop dramatically if we don't have a gorilla for the rest of the quarter. I know you've been working here for a few years now, and I wanted to ask if you could maybe dress up in this gorilla outfit for just a couple weeks until the new gorilla ships in. We'll pay you triple and all you have to do is act like a gorilla all day. Free place to sleep, free food, no real work".
The janitor accepts, and begins his new position at the zoo. Every day, he wakes up when he wants, puts on a show for the kids, eats, and sits around all day.
Two weeks later the manager comes back around. "Janitor, thanks again for agreeing to do this. You really saved us by taking this position. The thing is, there's been a delay with the new gorilla shipment, and it might be another week or two before it gets here. Would you mind sticking around for a while longer?"
"Not at all!", replies the janitor. "I am lovin this job, and I will stay in this gorilla outfit for as long as you need".
Weeks go by and the janitor is still posing as the gorilla, walking around, beating his chest, picking his butt, and being lazy. Months go by, and no new gorilla has shipped in. He's getting used to this lifestyle.
One day, the janitor decides to put on a real show for the kids. He gets up on top of the fence and beats his chest while letting out a mighty roar. The kids are loving it, when all of a sudden he falls over into the lion exhibit next door. He gets up, looks around, and realizes that he can't scream for help because he's supposed to be a gorilla. With no idea what to do, he sees one of the lions approaching. "*Oh shit, what the hell do I do?!*", he thinks to himself...
The lion gets closer and roars as it slowly inches toward the janitor.
Fearing for his life, the janitor panics and screams, "HELP! SOMEBODY HELP!"
The lion stops and whispers, "Shut up! Or we'll BOTH lose our jobs!"
