Her Brain Cells Are Extinct

(I work at a zoo, specifically running an “encounter” where guests can feed the giraffes. It’s a very common type of attraction at various zoos throughout the country. A young woman comes up to me with a question.)

Guest: “Hi. So, you know those signs on the exhibits saying whether the animal is endangered or not?”

Me: “Yes?”

Guest: “Where is the one for the giraffes?”

Me: “It’s down on the other side of the exhibit. It’s that sign there, but I can just tell you if you’d like.”

Guest: “Oh, no, thank you. I just need a picture of the sign. My best friend thinks giraffes are extinct.”

Me: “You could probably take a picture of yourself with the actual giraffes, too, I suppose.”
