One day Beethoven, on a temporary leave of his senses, was visiting the New York Zoo, and pulling a bass violin out of its case, tucks it under his massive chin, rosins up the bow, and begins playing the Ninth Symphony. Unfortunately, as soon as he starts to draw a crowd, a zoo keeper grabs him and drags him into his office. The zoo keeper, using the American Sign Language for the Deaf, explains to Beethoven that the Zoo's most popular attraction, a gorilla, has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance at the Zoo will fall off. He offers Beethoven a job to dress up as the gorilla until they can get a new one. Ludwig thought this a wonderful idea and accepted. So the next morning he puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd comes. He discovers that it's a great job. He can sleep all he wants, play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as famous composer. However, eventually the crowds tire of him and he tires of just swinging on tires. He begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition, and dangles from the top to the lion's cage. Of course, this makes the lion furious, but the crowd loves it. At the end of the day the Zookeeper comes and gives Ludwig a raise for being such a good attraction. Well, this goes on for some time, Beethoven keeps taunting the lion, the crowds grow larger, and his salary keeps going up. Then one terrible day when he is dangling over the furious lion he slips and falls. Beethoven is terrified. The lion gathers itself and prepares to pounce. Ludwig is so scared that he begins to run round and round the cage with the lion close behind. Finally, Beethoven starts screaming and yelling, "Help! Help me!", but the lion is quick and pounces. Beethoven soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says, "Shut up you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?" And Beethoven says, "Huh? I can't hear you!” One day Beethoven, on a temporary leave of his senses, was visiting the New York Zoo, and pulling a bass violin out of its case, tucks it under his massive chin, rosins up the bow, and begins playing the Ninth Symphony.

A very tight man was looking for a gift for a friend. Everything was too expensive except for a glass vase that had been broken, which he could purchase for almost nothing. He asked the store to send it, hoping his friend would think it has been broken in transit. In due time, he received an acknowledgement. "Thanks for the vase," it read. "It was so thoughtful of you to wrap each piece separately." Rate the joke: 1 2 3 4 5 21 people already rated this joke. Send this joke to a friend Start your day smiling with a funny joke by SMS.
