Kangaroo: I hate April!
Wallabee: Why?
Kangaroo: It rains so much, the kids have to play inside!

What happens when 50 rabbits hop backwards at the same time?
You get a receding hare line.

    I took my family to the zoo in Washington, D.C. At teh great ape exhibit my son was standing next to the glass to look at the gorilla sitting on a tree branch. He turned to look at us. The gorilla jumped and landed without a sound directly where our son was standing. Our son turned and jumped because he was instantly nose to nose with the gorilla. The crowd laughed. We also felt that the gorilla had “got another one.”

    Three turtles were going on a picnic, and after a ten day trip they finally reached the outlook they wanted to eat at, but realized they had forgotten the bottle opener. The two older turtles tell the younger one to go back and fetch it, but he cries “No! You’ll eat the sandwiches!” The older turtles promised they wouldn’t dare touch them, and the young turtle headed off for the bottle opener. Ten days passed, then 20, and finally, when 30 days passed the two older turtles just couldn’t take it anymore, they were dying of hunger. They took a bite out of one of the sandwiches when the younger turtle jumps out from behind a rock and says “See? That’s why I’m not going!”

    Once upon a time, there lived a snake named Nate. Near Nate’s house there was an ancient mystical lever by the side of the road. According to the myth, if you pushed the lever the world would end. One day, Nate was slithering down the road when he came upon the lever. At the same moment, a truck came barreling down the street, and the driver found himself in a dilemma: either hit the snake or end the world. Needless to say, the driver ran over the poor animal and continued on his route. The moral of the story? Better Nate than lever!
