Moishe, a Jewish actor, is so down and out he's ready to take any acting gig that he can find. Finally he gets a lead, a classified ad that reads
"Actor needed to play an gorilla."
"I could do that,"
says Moishe.
To his surprise, the employer turns out to be the owner of the Zoo. Owing to mismanagement, the zoo has spent so much money renovating the grounds and improving the habitat, that they can no longer afford to import the gorilla they needed to replace their recently deceased one. So until they can, they'll put an actor in a gorilla suit. Out of desperation, Moishe takes the offer.
At first, his conscience keeps nagging him, that he is being dishonest by fooling the zoo-goers. And Moishe feels undignified in the gorilla-suit, stared at by crowds who watch his every move. But after a few days on the job, he begins to enjoy all the attention, and starts to put on a show for the zoo-goers: hanging upside-down from the branches by his legs, swinging about on the vines, climbing up the cage walls, and roaring with all his might whilst beating his chest. Soon, he's drawing a sizable crowd.
One day, when Moishe is swinging on the vines to show off to a group of school kids, his hand slips, and he goes flying over the fence into the neighbouring cage, the lion's den. Terrified, Moishe backs up as far from the approaching lion as he can, covers his eyes with his paws, and prays at the top of his lungs,
"Shema Yisrael Adonai Elokeinu Adonai Echad!"
The lion opens its powerful jaws and roars the response, "Baruch Shem K'vod Malchuto L'olam Va'ed!"
From a nearby cage, a panda yells,
"Shut up, you schmucks. You'll get us all fired!!!"
