"At The Zoo"
A kangaroo kept getting out of his enclosure
at the zoo. Knowing that he could hop high,
the zoo officials put up a ten-foot fence.
He was out the next morning, just roaming
around the zoo. A twenty-foot fence was
put up. Again he go out.
When the fence was forty feet high, a camel
in the next enclosure asked the kangaroo,
"How high do you think they'll go?"
The kangaroo said, "Oh, about a thousand
feet, I think... unless somebody remembers
to lock the gate at night!"

"Camels"
A mother and baby camel are talking one
day when the baby camel asks, "Mom,
why have I got these huge three toed feet?"
The mother replies, "Well son, when we
trek across the desert your toes will help
you to stay on top of the soft sand."
"OK," said the son.
A few minutes later the son asks, "Mom,
why have I got these great long eyelashes?"
"They are there to keep the sand out of your
eyes on the trips through the desert."
"Thanks Mom," replies the son.
After a short while, the son returns and asks,
"Mom, why have I got these great big humps
on my back??" The mother, now a little
impatient with the boy replies, "They are
there to help us store water for our long
treks across the desert, so we can go
without drinking for long periods."
"That's great Mom, so we have huge feet
to stop us sinking, and long eyelashes to
keep the sand from our eyes and these
humps to store water, but Mom..."
"Yes, son?"
"Why the heck are we in the San Diego zoo?"
