But the porposes were always mating in their cages before and after the show, and all of the zoo's visitors were very embarassed. The head zoologist told the porpoise keeper to seperate the porp- oises into different cages, so the keeper decided to put the first one into the penguin cage. He also decided that it would take too long to go all the way around the zoo to get to the penguins, so he thought to himself how much quicker it would be to just walk through the lion cage. This is what he decided to do. Just as he was crossing them, a policeman yelled at him, "STOP! YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!!!" "What for?", says the porpoise keeper. "FOR CROSSING STATE LIONS WITH OBSCENE PORPOSES!"
