A man walked into his backyard one morning and found there was
a gorilla in a tree. He called a gorilla-removal service, and
soon a serviceman arrived with a stick, a Chihuahua, a pair of
handcuffs and a shotgun. "Now listen carefully," he told the homeowner, "I'm going to
climb the tree and poke the gorilla with this stick until he
falls to the ground. The trained Chihuahua will then go right
for his, uh, sensitive area, and when the gorilla instinctivly
crosses his hands in front to protect himself, you slap the
handcuffs on"
"Ok, got it." the homeowner replied. "But whats that shotgun
for?"
"If I fall out of the tree before the gorilla," the man said,
"shoot the Chihuahua."
