A new college student rented a cottage adjacent to the fence at the San Diego Zoo. On the other side of the fence was the porpoise pool.

Being a science major, the student had just read that if you feed a porpoise a sea gull every day for a year, the porpoise would become immortal.

The student immediately began filling his freezer with dead gulls and tossing them over the fence to the porpoises.

Finally, at year’s end, he opened the back door to toss the last gull over the fence, only to find an escaped lion laying on the porch. The student backed up, got a running start, leaped over the lion and tossed the last gull over the fence.

Immediately a patrol car pulled up and arrested the student.

Why?

For transporting a gull over a state lion for immortal porpoises.

Keep them coming!
