A strange job


Some people do really strange things to earn money. There is a joke about a man who applied for a job at the zoo.

A guy needs a job and decides to apply at the zoo. As it happened, their star attraction, a gorilla, had died the night before. They tell this guy that they'll pay him well if he would dress up in the gorillas skin and pretend to be the gorilla so people will keep coming to the zoo. Well, the guy has his doubts. But hey! He needs the money, so he puts on the skin and goes out into the cage. The people all cheer to see him. This isn't so bad, he thinks, and he starts really putting on a show, jumping around, beating his chest and roaring, swinging around. During one acrobatic attempt, though, he loses his balance and crashes through some safety netting, landing square in the middle of the lion cage! As he lies there stunned, the lion roars. He's terrified and starts screaming, "Help, Help, Help! "The lion races over to him, places his paws on his chest and hisses,"Shut up or we'll BOTH lose our jobs!"

Can you think of any other strange jobs? How far would you go if you needed money?
