SIR— I would like to share a joke I picked from the Internet, with your readers. This joke is very pertinent to how politicians have been treating Ugandans and continue to fool us during this political transition. pathetically few politicians in this country are what they claim to be and I wish they could be summarily exposed and thrown out.
Now, you can enjoy the joke. Did you hear about the man who was looking for a job?
He noticed there was an opening at the local zoo.
Upon inquiry, he discovered the zoo had a very unusual position that they wanted to fill. Apparently, their gorilla had died, and until they could get a new one, they needed someone to dress up in a gorilla suit and act like a gorilla for a few days. He was told just to sit, eat, and sleep. Of course, his identity would be kept a secret. The zoo offered good pay for this job and when he tried on the suit he looked just like a gorilla. They led him to the cage and he took a position at the back of the cage and pretended to sleep.
But after a while, he got tired of sitting so he walked around a little bit, jumped up and down and tried a few gorilla noises. The people watching him seemed to really like that. When he would move or jump around, they would clap and cheer and throw him peanuts. And the man loved peanuts. So he jumped around some more and tried climbing a tree.
That seemed to really get the crowd excited. They threw more peanuts. Playing to the crowd,
he grabbed a vine and swung from one side of the cage to the other. The people loved it and threw more peanuts. “Wow! This is great,†he thought. He swung higher and the crowd grew bigger.
He continued to swing on the vine, getting higher and higher and then all of a sudden the vine broke! He swung up and out of the cage, landing in the lion’s cage that was next door. He panicked.
There was a huge lion not 20 feet away, and it looked very hungry. So the man in the gorilla suit started jumping up and down, screaming and yelling, “Help, help! Get me out of here! I’m not really a gorilla! I’m a man in a gorilla suit! Help!â€
The lion quickly pounced on the man, held him down and said, “Will you be quiet! You’re going to get both of us fired.†By this time, I suspect his pants were soiled! Do you recognise any familiar characters in the story?
