	YoHf  +  430041 Fri, 12 Oct 07 12:33 PM I reckon Mr. A is suggesting that Mr. B should be kept captive in a zoo (probably because of the way he looks/behaves) and providing him with some pieces of information about the location of the zoo, so that Mr. B can get to it. - YoHf YoHf Joined on Wed, Oct 26 2005 Senior Member 3,347 Shinichi Okazaki.

	nona the brit  +  430384 Sat, 13 Oct 07 12:55 PM The joke works on the idea that normally you ask directions to a place because you don't know how to get there yourself. This is funny as it reverses that idea - A has gone up and told a complete stranger, who doesn't care where the zoo is, the directions - the complete opposite of the real situation. nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.

	Arowana  +  431349 Tue, 16 Oct 07 12:43 PM I agree with Nona's explaination, that's the whole idea of the joke. On the other hand YoHF's version is more ' imaginative' .... Arowana Joined on Mon, Jan 8 2007 Junior Member 93 Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve. Jokes

	Dew 2007  +  431395 Tue, 16 Oct 07 03:49 PM I just remembered another one like that: A couple was waliking along the dark street - Suddenly a group of youngsters surrounded them, -Have you got a tin-opener? - No, - said they - Then stay here! Or you will suffer! (and the youngters ran away) The couple stood scared for a quarter of an hour - then the boys appeared, gave them a tin-opener and said, -Now you may go!
