A man woke up one morning, looked outside, and discovered a gorilla sitting on his roof.
Naturally, he did what any reasonable person would do—he checked the Yellow Pages for a professional gorilla remover.
Sure enough, he found one and called.
“Don’t worry,” the remover said. “I’ll be there in 30 minutes.”
A short while later, a van pulled up.
The remover jumped out carrying a ladder, a baseball bat, a shotgun, and a very intimidating dog.
The homeowner stared at the equipment.
“Uh… what exactly is the plan?”
The remover smiled.
“Simple. I’ll put the ladder against the house, climb onto the roof, and knock the gorilla down with this baseball bat.”
“Then what?”
“The dog is specially trained to grab the gorilla and hold him still while I put him safely in the cage.”
The homeowner nodded slowly.
“But what’s the shotgun for?”
The remover handed it to him.
“If the gorilla knocks me off the roof…”
He paused.
“…shoot the dog.”
The homeowner stared at him.
“Wait… THAT’S the backup plan?”
The remover shrugged.
“Hey, I said I remove gorillas. I never said I was good at explaining the plan.”
