A small zoo in Alabama obtained 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.” Thinking about the problem, the zoo keeper thought of Bobby Lee Byrd, a redneck part-time worker responsible for cleaning the cages. Bobby Lee, like most rednecks, was a bit short on brains but possessed ample ability to satisfy a female of any species.
So the zoo keeper approached Bobby Lee with a proposition. Would he be willing to mate with the gorilla for $500? Bobby Lee showed some interest, but said he would have to think the matter over carefully.
Two days later, Bobby Lee announced that he would accept the zoo’s offer, but only under four conditions.
“First,” Bobby Lee said, “I ain’t gonna kiss her on the lips.” The keeper quickly agreed to this condition.
“Second,” he said, “You cain’t never tell no one about this.” The keeper readily agreed.
“Third,” Bobby Lee said, I want all the childruns raised Southern Baptist.” Once again, the keeper agreed.
“And fourth,” Bobby Lee stated, “Ya gotta give me another week to come up with the $500.”
