Gorilla...

Back to Funny Stuff

A young man was going to be house-sitting for a rich, eccentric man. The
homeowner told the young man that he would have the house for 3 months, could drink and eat anything in the house, use all the electronic equipment, make long distance phone calls, have parties, swim in the pool, and on and on.  

The young man was just amazed, and thinking "OH YEAH".   But finally, the man told him that the one thing he could not do was touch his gorilla.

Gorilla?  Sure enough, the man took him to the basement, through a series of doors that were locked, and more and more complicated and difficult to open, and finally, there in a huge room was a gigantic gorilla in a cage.

The young man was so stunned, and shy, he did not ask why he couldn't touch the gorilla, he just nodded his head.
 
The man left.  For weeks the young man had a ball.  Parties, friends, food,
it just never stopped. Until, finally, it was all getting rather tiresome.  He resorted to watching TV.  Then he really got bored.  It was at this point
that he decided to investigate the gorilla.  And as he opened all those doors, he decided he was going to touch the gorilla.  What could happen?

And, so, he did.  The gorilla went crazy, banged the sides of the cage,
until it fell apart.  But by this time the young man was running through the
house, and heard the  gorilla following him.  Finally he ran out the door, jumped in the closest car (which happened to be a nice convertible) and peeled out.

The gorilla was right behind him.  He was going 30 mph.  The gorilla was
right behind him.  40 mph.  Right behind.  50 mph. Right behind.  60 mph.
Right behind.  He went even faster, and the gorilla could keep up... it was
so scary.
 
Finally, he was going just over 100 mph.  The gorilla was still right
behind him and catching up!

Then he saw this big hairy arm reaching out ... coming for him.  The gorilla
touched him on the shoulder and said 

................"Tag, .....you're it!"
