Bristol Zoo had acquired a female of a very rare species of Gorilla.
Within a few weeks, the gorilla became very cantankerous and difficult to handle.
Upon examination, the Zoo veterinarian determined the problem. The gorilla was on heat.
To make matters worse, there were no male gorillas of the species available.
While reflecting on their problem, the Zoo management noticed Andy, a big West Country lad, responsible for fixing the Zoo's machinery.
Andy, like most West Country Boys, had little sense but seemed to be possessed with ample ability to satisfy a female of ANY species.
So, the Zoo administrators thought they might have a solution. Andy was approached with a proposition.
Would he be willing to have sex with the gorilla for £500?
Andy showed some interest, but said he would have to think the matter over carefully.
The following day, Andy 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, you must never tell anyone about this."
The Zoo administration quickly agreed to these conditions, so they asked what was his third condition.
"Well," said Andy: "You gotta give me another week to come up with the £500."

and said, "Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated,
and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build another Ark and save 2
of every living thing along with a few good humans."
He gave Noah the CAD drawings, saying, "You have 6 months to build the
Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights. "
Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard
- but no Ark.
"Noah!" He roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?"
"Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah, "but things have changed. I needed
Building Regulations Approval because the Ark was over 30m2. I've been
arguing with the Fire Brigade about the need for a sprinkler system. My
neighbours claim that I should have obtained planning permission for
building the Arkin in my garden because it is development of the site even
though in my view it is a temporary structure, but the roof is too high.
We had to go to appeal to the Secretary of State for a decision. The
Local Area Access Group complained that my ramp was going to be too
steep, and the inside of the Ark wasn't fully accessible, then the
Department of Transport demanded a bond be posted for the future costs
of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the
passage for the Ark 's move to the sea. I told them that the sea would
be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it.
Getting the wood was another problem. All the decent trees have Tree
Preservation Orders on them and we live in a Site of Special Scientific
Interest set up in order to protect the spotted owl. I tried to convince
the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls - but no
go!
When I started gathering the animals, the RSPCA sued me. They insisted
that I was confining wild animals against their will. They argued the
accommodation was too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put
so many animals in a confined space.
Then the County Council, the Environment Agency and the Rivers Authority
ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted an
environmental impact study on your proposed flood.
I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Equal Opportunities
Commission on how many BMEs I'm supposed to hire for my building team.
The trades unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire
only CSCS accredited workers with Ark-building experience.
To make matters worse, Customs and Excise seized all my assets, claiming
I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species. So,
forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish
this Ark."
Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow
stretched across the sky.
Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "You mean
you're not going to destroy the world?"
"No," said the Lord. "The government beat me to it"

Suddenly, the plane plummets out of control. In panic, the woman turns to the man, tears off her blouse and cries,
"Make me feel like a woman one more time!"
Rising to the occasion, the man tears off his shirt and says "Here, iron this."
