One day, an out-of-work mime was visiting a zoo. He starts up his act, but just as he starts drawing a crowd, a zookeeper grabs the mime and pulls him into his office.
The zookeeper explains to the mime that the zoo’s most popular attraction, the gorilla, has just died, and they are unable to find a replacement. Worried about the potential loss of customers, the zookeeper asks the mime to put on a gorilla suit and pretend to be the gorilla.
Just until they can find a replacement. After some convincing, the mime agrees. The next day, the mime finds out that it’s actually a pretty great job. He can sleep all he wants, eat all he wants, make fun of the guests, and he gets paid to do it.
This continues for a few days, until the zoo guests become tired of seeing him Iaze around and start paying more attention to the lion in the enclosure next to his.
