Still in a funny mood…

An unemployed biologist was having considerable difficulty in finding a new job. He finally saw an add in a local newspaper for a position at a zoo. In the interview, the manager told him that their only gorilla, which had been a star attraction, had recently died, and it would be sometime before they could replace it. Meanwhile, they needed someone to dress up as a gorilla and pretend to be the animal. The biologist was quite embarrassed, but, being desperate for money, he accepted the job.

The next day, the biologist put on a gorilla skin and headgear and entered a cage from a rear entrance. Visitors smiled at him and threw bread. After a while, the biologist really got into the act. He jumped up and down, beat his chest and roared as people cheered.

The following day, the biologist entered the wrong cage by accident and found himself staring at a lion. The lion roared and rushed toward him. The scared biologist turned and ran, while screaming, “Help! Help!” The lion leaped onto the gorilla, knocked him to the ground and whispered in his ear, “Hey, it’s me Leonard, your former co-worker. Shut up or we’ll both lose our jobs!”

One day after sleeping badly, an anatomist went to his frog laboratory and removed from a cage one frog with white spots on its back. He placed it on a table and drew a line just in front of the frog. “Jump frog, jump!” he shouted. The little critter jumped two feet forward. In his lab book, the anatomist scribbled, “Frog with four legs jumps two feet.”

Then, he surgically removed one leg of the frog and repeated the experiment. “Jump, jump!” To which, the frog leaped forward 1.5 feet. He wrote down, “Frog with three legs jumps 1.5 feet.”

Next, he removed a second leg. “Jump frog, jump!” The frog managed to jump a foot. He scribbled in his lab book, “Frog with two legs jumps one foot.”

Not stopping there, the anatomist removed yet another leg. “Jump, jump!” The poor frog somehow managed to move 0.5 feet forward. The scientist wrote, “Frog with one leg jumps 0.5 feet.”

Finally, he eliminated the last leg. “Jump, jump!” he shouted, encouraging forward progress for the frog. But despite all its efforts, the frog could not budge. “Jump frog, jump!” he cried again. It was no use; the frog would not response. The anatomist thought for a while and then wrote in his lab book, “Frog with no legs goes deaf.”
