The Zookeeper and the Giraffe.

One day a young zookeeper was working the night shift a a zoo. He was doing his routine work, cleaning, feeding, and talking to each animal as he passed by them. On this day however he heard a voice calling to him from a young giraffe.

*Psssst zookeeperrrrrr! Pssst over here!*

*What is it giraffe?*

*Zookeeper, Please let me out of my cage!*

*And why should I do that?*

*Well because I'm gunna die tomorrow! Please!*

Reluctantly, the zookeeper releases the giraffe to roam the zoo in its final hours of life but not long after the giraffe asks the zookeeper for another favor.

*Zookeeperrrr!*

*What is it this time, giraffe?*

*Zookeeperrrr, can we get some ice cream?*

*No, we cannot*

*Awwwwww, but I'm gunna die tomorrowwww!*

*Alright, fine!*

The zookeeper and the giraffe go to get some ice cream as midnight draws near the zookeeper starts to worry and they go back to the zoo. But shortly after the giraffe is back at it again.

*Zookeeperrrrr!*

*What do you want, giraffe?*

*Can we go drinkinnnng?*

*NO! Absolutely not!*

*Awwww, but I'm gunna die tomorrowwww!*

*Fine, but this is the last time!*

So the zookeeper and the giraffe get a taxi and they go to a bar.
They drink and get very drunk and the next day the zookeeper wakes up in the bar with a dead giraffe next to him. The bartender is cleaning glasses and wiping tables, he notices the zookeeper wake up. He looks over at the dead giraffe and the woken zookeeper and says,

*Hey you can't keep that lyin' around here!*

The zookeeper yawns.

*That's not a lion, that's a giraffe.*
