TitleThe Zoo KeeperDescriptionThe Zoo Keeper At the N.C. Zoo in Asheboro they acquired a very rare species of gorilla.
Within a few weeks the gorilla, a female, became very difficult to handle.
Upon examination, the veterinarian determined the problem: the gorilla was in season. To make matters worse, there was no male gorilla available.
Thinking about their problem, the Zoo Keeper thought of Bobby Lee Walton, a redneck part-time worker from nearby Siler City who they hired on a contract basis to be responsible for cleaning the animal cages. Bobby Lee, like some country boys from this area, was a little limited in brains, but possessed ample ability to satisfy a female of any species.
The Zoo Keeper thought they might have a solution. Bobby Lee was approached with a proposition: Would he be willing to mate with the gorilla for $500.00?
Bobby Lee showed some interest, but said he would have to think the matter over carefully. The following day, he announced that he would accept their offer, but only under four conditions.
1. "First", Bobby Lee said, "I hain't gonna kiss her on the lips." The Keeper quickly agreed to this condition.
2. "Second", he said, "You can't never tell nare a body about this." The Keeper again readily agreed to this condition.
3. "Third", Bobby Lee said, "I wants all the chil'run raised Southern Baptist." Once again, the Keeper agreed.
4. "And last of all," Bobby Lee stated, "You gotta give me another week to come up with the $500.00."
