Auckland 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 Graham, a big Aussie lad responsible for fixing the Zoo’s machinery. Graham, like most Aussies 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. Graham was approached with a proposition. Would he be willing to make love to the gorilla for $500? Graham showed some interest but said he would have to think the matter over carefully.
The following day, Graham announced that he would accept their offer only under three conditions:
“First Mate, I don’t want to have to keess her Maaaaate. Secondly, you must neever tell anyone about this.”
The Zoo administration quickly agreed to these conditions so they asked what was his third condition. “Maaaaaaaaaaaate” said Graham “You gotta give me another week to come up with the $500”
