An unemployed actor is getting pretty desperate for work. He happens upon this guy from the zoo and hes looking for actors. The guy explains that they spent so much money on getting the habitat just right, they ran out of money to import the ape they wanted. They want to hire the actor to be that ape. Although the guy thinks this is pretty stupid, he takes the job anyway.

The first few days, the actor just sits there thinking he doesnt look real and that no one is stupid enough to fall for this stunt. He gets bored and decides to walk around and examine his little cage. With this, he notices that people are watching his every move. He decides to give them a show. After a couple weeks, hes swinging on the poles and dancing around making a lot of gorilla noises and is drawing quite a crowd.

One day hes showing off for a group of kids. He is swinging around and around a pole when all of a sudden, his hand slips and he goes flying over the cage wall and right into the lions cage. Immediately, the lion is stalking him.

The actor backs up as far as he can, and when he sees no other option, he starts screaming his lungs out. HELP ME! HELP ME! With that, the lion whispers, Shut up or youll get us all fired!
