Opening Time

The is a story about a gorilla who went into a pub and ordered a beer.
Assuming that gorillas do not understand money, the barman charged the gorilla three times the normal price. The gorilla paid in silence.
'Not many gorillas come in here', the barman said after a pause.
'I'm not surprised', the gorilla replied.
'Why?'
'Because the beer is very expensive.'
The story does not say if the barman was impressed, but the gorilla was obviously no fool.
Pubs in Britain open at strictly controlled times. In most parts of the country they are open from half past eleven in the morning to half past two and then from half past five to half past ten in the evening.
A thirsty gorilla needs a watch as well as a fat wallet.
