Once there was a marine biologist who loved dolphins. He spent his time
trying to feed and protect his beloved creatures of the sea. One day, in a
fit of inventive genius, he came up with a serum that would make dolphins
live forever!
Of course he was ecstatic. But he soon
realized that in order to mass produce this serum he would need large
amounts of a certain compound that was only found in nature in the
metabolism of a rare South American bird. Carried away by his love for
dolphins, he resolved that he would go to the zoo and steal one of these
birds.
Unbeknownst to him, as he was arriving at
the zoo an elderly lion was escaping from its cage. The zoo keepers were
alarmed and immediately began combing the zoo for the escaped animal,
unaware that it had simply lain down on the sidewalk and had gone to
sleep.
Meanwhile, the marine biologist arrived at
the zoo and procured his bird. He was so excited by the prospect of
helping his dolphins that he stepped absentmindedly over the sleeping lion
on his way back to his car.
Immediately, 1500 policemen converged on him
and arrested him for transporting a myna across a staid lion for immortal
porpoises.
