That is bad, Ang, but this one is worse. It isn't original, but is so old that many may have forgotten it (and it requires a footnote for the residents of the Sceptered Isle and its more recent colonies.).

On a small pacific island there is a lagoon where a pod of dolphins live and the locals believes that these dolphins live for ever, but only as long as they are provided with squabs of the sea birds that nest on the cliffs on the other side of the isle.

It was Joe's job to feed the birds to the dolphins at noon each day. However, one day a monkey got in to the refrigerator where the prepared squab was kept. With only an hour before the sacred feeding time Joe ran across the island, rappelled down the cliffs and beating back the attacks of the adult birds robbed the nest. As he raced back to the lagoon, he was confronted by one of he Chief's pet lions!! (A descendant of a lion given to the king by a European explorer.) Joe froze, knowing that he had failed the gods by not taking care of the dolphins and brought doom on his tribe, and that he was about to get eaten too. But just as the animal prepared to leap the Chief's animal trainer hollered, "Down, Clearance! No!" and the large cat stopped in place. Joe quickly jumped over the cat and raced to the bay only to be arrested for carrying young gulls across staid lions for immortal porpoises*.

Bye now.

*in the US it is a federal violation to "Carry young girls across state lines for immoral purposes."
