The Mad Zebra in Africa
One day I was sitting at my computer typing up some files when suddenly George the zebra burst through the hospital doors yelling “Jack! Jack! You have to help me!”
“George, what’s wrong?” I asked
“Barfing, diarrhea, dizziness, and insanity!” He said as he lay on the floor barfing.
“When did you start experiencing all of this?” I asked
He began to explain, “Ugh! It all started this morning, I woke up and my guts were on fire. I knew I had to get to the bathroom fast! After I finished puking my guts out I came here, because I’ve never puked like that in my life.”
“Hmm, what happened last night?” I asked
“Well I was in a field getting liquored up with some buds of mine when I saw this cow eyeing me up from across the field. Her name was Rae, and she looked pretty sexy from where I was standing so I went over and talked to her. As I approached she started to look a little bit dirty, which is a turn off, but she had the best looking utter I’ve ever seen. We hit it off right away and I could see by the way she was looking at me that she wanted me, and who could blame her, I mean look at me, I’m a stud! Not long after we decided to head back to my hut where things got pretty steamy if you know what I mean.”
“My god! Did you at least use a condom?” I asked
“No, why would I want to do that, condoms are against my religion,” He replied.
“You idiot! Can’t you see? You’ve contracted Mad Cow Disease!”
“Mad Cow Disease! How can I get Mad Cow Disease? I'm a zebra!” He cried
“Well obviously that cow that you brought home last night had it, and when you had intercourse with her you contracted the disease,” I explained.
“Well how do we cure it?” He asked
“Ha! To my knowledge there is no cure, but ask your friends, you never know, maybe they’ve heard of something I haven’t, but beware that about two hours from now you will begin to go insane and foam at the mouth,” I warned.
Before I could say anything else he went running out the doors. Now from what I hear he went and talked to Johnny the elephant first. Johnny was sleeping as usual when George arrived.
“Johnny wake up!” He yelled
Johnny just lay their.
“Johnny! Dam it! Wake up!” George yelled as he kicked Johnny in the face.
