A bloke starts his new job at the zoo and is given three tasks. First is to clear the exotic fish pool of weeds. As he does this a huge fish jumps out and bites him.

 

To show the others who's boss he beats it to death with a spade.

Realizing his employer won't be best pleased he disposes of the fish by feeding it to the lions, as lions will eat anything.

 

 

Moving on to the second job of clearing out the Chimp house, he is attacked by the chimps that pelt him with coconuts. He swipes at two chimps with a spade, killing them both. What can he do? Feed them to the lions, he says to himself, because lions eat anything. He hurls the corpses into the lion enclosure.

 

 

He moved on to the last job whi ch is to collect honey from the South American Bees. As soon as he starts he is attacked by the bees. He grabs the spade and smashes the bees to a pulp. By now he knows what to do and throws them in with the lions.

 

 

Later that day a new lion arrives at the zoo. He wanders up to another lion and says, "What's the food like here?"

 

The lion says "Absolutely brilliant".

 

"Today we had fish and chimps with mushy bees."

chimps=chips=fries

mushy bees=mushy peas=actually theres probably nee Yank equivalent. ;)

Really- after being on this board how many years I do have a slight grasp of the language and word play so I 'got' the joke.. it's the joke itself that is cringeworthy. Thank you tho for explaining it.

 

And you're right, there is no yank equivalent.

shouldn't he have been in the aviary at first and clobbered a finch to death? thereby making it finch, chimp and mushy bees?

 

See a play on all three words thus sticking to the true spirit of the original joke that is noted for cracking a smile on Queen Victoria's mush.
