A certain zoo had acquired a very rare species of gorilla. Within a few

weeks, the female gorilla became very ornery, and difficult to handle. Upon

examination, the zoo veterinarian determined the problem. The gorilla was

in heat. To make matters worse, there were no male gorillas available.

While reflecting on their problem, the zoo administrators noticed Barry, an

employee responsible for cleaning the animals' cages. Barry, it was

rumoured, possessed ample ability to satisfy any female, but he wasn't very

bright. So, the zoo administrators thought they might have a solution.

Barry was approached with a proposition: would he be willing to screw the

gorilla for five hundred bucks? Barry showed some interest, but said he

would have to think the matter over carefully. The following day, Barry

announced that he would accept their offer, but only under three conditions.

First," he said, "I don't want to have to kiss her. Secondly, I want

nothing to do with any offspring that may result from this union." The zoo

administration quickly agreed to these conditions, so they asked what was

his third condition. "Well," said Barry, "you've gotta give me another week

to come up with the five hundred bucks."
