I first heard the joke about the gorilla and the expensive drink over 20 years ago. The first time I heard of it involving a kangaroo instead was about 10 years ago in National Lampoon, which had it in a cartoon which included a sign on the wall of the bar listing the outrageous drink prices (which defeats the purpose of the joke, namely that the gorilla will "never know the difference.") Regardless, I feel personally that the gorilla is superior to the kangaroo as a participant in the joke, since he is more likely to inspire trepidation in the bartender when he sees he does not have enough chnage.
