Today's Joke:
4 gorillas are placed in a new exhibit at the zoo, there is a ladder beneath a bunch of bananas hanging from the ceiling.

Immediately, one of the gorillas climbs the ladder to get the bananas, but the zoo keeper sprays him and the other gorillas down with a fire hose, soaking them all to the bone, they are all cold, miserable, confused and angry.

A few minutes later, one of the other gorillas goes for the bananas, with the same results. After all has settled down a few minutes later another gorilla makes an attempt, but they are all hosed down yet again.

The next gorilla that tries for the bananas is stopped by the other gorillas, they beat him up, and prevent him from climbing the ladder, as they don't want to be hosed down again. A few days later, one of the gorillas is removed from the enclosure, and a new one is introduced, he immediately sees the bananas and attempts to get them, the others grab him and beat him up. This evolution is repeated every few days, remove one gorilla, introduce a new one, he tries to get bananas, he is beaten.

Eventually, none of the original gorillas who were hosed down remain in the enclosure. All the new gorillas only know they will be beaten by all the others if he tries to get the bananas.

Finally, one of the new gorillas asks one others, why do we beat each other up for trying to get the bananas?

The other replies " I don't know... It's the way it's always beendone around here".
