AT THE GORILLA ENCLOSURE

（单词翻译:单击）

It's a beautiful, warm spring morning and a couple are spending the day at the zoo. She's wearing a loose-fitting, spring dress, sleeveless with straps1. He's wearing jeans and a T-shirt.

As they walk through the ape exhibit, they pass in front of a very large hairy gorilla2. Noticing the girl, the gorilla goes mad. He jumps up on the bars, and holding on with one hand, he grunts3 and pounds his chest with his free hand. He is obviously excited at the pretty lady in the wavy4 dress.

The husband, noticing the excitement, thinks this is funny, and suggests that his wife teases the poor creature some more. He gets her to pucker5 her lips, wiggle her bottom at the ape, and play along. She does, and the Gorilla gets even more excited, making noises that would wake the dead.

Then the husband suggests that she let one of her straps fall to show a little more skin. She does, and the Gorilla is about to tear the bars down.

"Now try lifting your dress up your thighs6 and sort of fan it at him," he says. This drives the gorilla absolutely crazy and he starts doing flips7. With that, the husband grabs his wife by the hair, rips open the door to the cage, slings8 her in with the gorilla and slams the cage door shut.

"Now, tell HIM you have a headache."
