The Gorilla Joke

A gorilla went into a coffee shop, sat down and ordered a cup of coffee.

The waiter was a bit nervous at first, but there weren't any other customers

and the gorilla seemed quite friendly, so he let him sit in peace. Who'd

argue with a gorilla, anyway? While the waiter made the coffee, he

watched the gorilla from the kitchen. The gorilla just sat there, staring at

the ceiling. The kettle boiled and the waiter made a fresh cup of coffee and

took it in. The gorilla handed him a five-pound note, and went on drinking

coffee. The waiter took the five-pound note and went back to the kitchen to

get some change. While he was in the kitchen he watched the gorilla, who

drank the coffee, but for the rest of the time just stared at the ceiling. The

waiter thought to himself, 'That gorilla won't know the difference between

a pound note and a five-pound note — he's only a gorilla, after all.' So he

took a pound coin and went in to give it to the gorilla. As he handed it over,

he said: "We don't get many gorillas in here". The gorilla took the pound

and replied: "I'm not surprised, with coffee at four pounds a cup"

Entertainments.

There is a plenty of entertainments in the world and people can choose

them according to their tastes, mood or maybe opportunities.

Entertainments include films, TV. books, concerts, cinemas, theatres,

discos, travelling and different parties. Some families prefer to take their

children to museums, art galleries or parks at the weekend. It's a nice way

of spending free time together for the whole family. It is quite normal for

British families to visit theme parks in summer. The amusements on offer

at such parks include a range of rides in various ways, some of them can

bathe you in the water. The really adventurous rides turn you upside down

at great speed. It's very exciting for all visitors. And this must be how the

British enjoy themselves most because last year the nine most famous

theme parks attracted more than twenty million visitors. The British
Museum is another place which attracts people in their free time. It is

officially described as the National Library and Museum of History,

Archaeology, Art and Ethnography. Here it is possible to find great

collections, including exhibits from the Pacific islands (ancient Polynesian

idols) and America (the Aztec sculptures).
