A small zoo in Sunderland acquired a very rare species of gorilla.
Within a few weeks the gorilla, a female, became very difficult to handle.
To make matters worse, there was no male gorilla available.Upon examination, the veterinarian determined the problem. The gorilla was in season.
Thinking about their problem, the Zoo Keeper thought of Makem Mick, a local lad & part-time worker responsible for cleaning the animal cages.
Mackem Mick, like many Sunderland men, felt he had ample ability to satisfy any female.
The Zoo Keeper thought they might have a solution.
Makem Mick was approached with a proposition.
Would he be willing to mate with the gorilla for ?500?
Mick showed some interest, but said he would have to think the matter over carefully
The following day, he announced that he would accept their offer, but only under four conditions:
1. "First", Mick said, "Nee kissin' on the lips."
The Keeper quickly agreed to this condition.
2. "Second", he said, "Ye cannit nivva tell neebody aboot this."
The Keeper again readily agreed to this condition.
3. "Third", Mick said, "Ah want all the bairns raised as Sunderland fans ."
Once again it was agreed.
4. "And last of all", Mick stated, "You gotta givvus another week to come up with the ?500"
