Bob had heard scary stories about hostage situations, but the ones he was in a couple of days ago was definitely the strangest one.
He took the bus to the city to go to the theater see Dr. Shrunk perform. Yeah, he knew the jokes were terrible, but he enjoyed seeing them because it was a way to kill time.
Anyhoo, Shrunk had finished his latest joke, and Bob was going to get another ticket when all of a sudden a bunch of gorillas blocked the exits.
'Listen up Shrunk! We're sick and tired of wasting our money on your stupid jokes! So until we hear a good joke from you, we're going to keep everyone here until you do! And we have all the exits blocked, so don't try to leave!' The leader shouted.
That definitely shook him up, because he didn't want anyone to get hurt because of him.
So, for the next 15 minutes, Shrunk rapidly told joke after joke to try and please the gorillas, but every time he failed, he got fruit thrown at him! Then at some point, 1 of the gorillas threw something at 1 of the audience members!
'Careful Shrunk, we might run out of fruit soon, then what are we going to throw at you then?! (evil laugh).' 1 of the gorillas taunted at him.
Thankfully, before it could get any more tense then it already was, the cops showed up and arrested the gorillas. Nobody was hurt, albeit a few being covered in fruit juice
Shrunk was so shaken up, he chose to take time off to recover, so Frillard agreed to take his place for a while.
When Bob got home, he became the talk of the twon with his experience.
'Oh my gosh, were you hurt?!' 'Were you scared?' 'Are you shaken up?' were just a few of the questions asked. But thankfully, everyone sort of lost interest in his story after they found out it wasn't really a big deal.
'What would provoke people to do something like that though? And all over bad jokes?' Bob asked himself sometimes.
