I was in chat and someone said something that made me think of this joke ... but it's too long for chat .. so I'll post here .. then others can make their contributions ...
So this guy is having his morning coffee .. and he looks in the back yard and sees a big gorilla in a tree. He calls "We Remove Gorillas From Trees" and, after identifying that it is a male gorilla, the guys says he'll get is gear and be right there.
On arriving. the gorilla removal guy gets out with a dog, a net, and a shotgun. He tells the homeowner to hold his shotgun and explains out this is gonna work. "I'm gonna climb up the tree and shake the branch the gorilla is on. When the gorilla falls out of the tree, the dog is gonna bite down on the gorilla's nuts and hold the gorilla while I put the net on him and tranq him."
"what about that shot gun ... ?" ... "well" he says, "let's hope we don't need to use that. You just hold it for now".
With that .. they guy starts climbing the tree. Gets out on the branch and starts shaking. This pisses off the gorilla .. who starts shaking the branch, too. So .. they are both shaking the branch and the gorilla removal guy starts to lose his grip ... then fall.
As he starts to fall out the tree, he yells to the homeowner, "shoot the dog!!! For god's sake, shoot the damn dog ... !!!"
Well .. I thought it was funny ... the best laid plans of mice and men, gang oft aglee ...
