Show "Human Gorilla" Found Comrade in Adversity A customers' man temporarily out of a job ran into a friend who owned a circus and asked him for something some-thing to do. "Well, the gorilla recently died," said the friend, "and if you want to get his skin, swing on the trapeze, growl a bit and amuse the children, you can have the job." The customers' man filled the bill well until one day the rope or which he was swinging snapped and he was catapulted into the lion's cage. The lion, seeing him, let out a lusty roar to which he offered a timid tim-id yelp. The lion roared more menacingly. men-acingly. The pseudo-gorilla lost his nerve arid became entirely human, backed into a corner yelling "help, help." The lion thereupon came closer and said in a hoarse whisper, "Shut up, you d d fool, you are not the only customers' man out of a job." Wall Street Journal. |
