Commissioned by a zoo to bring them some baboons, the big game hunter devised a novel scheme to trap them - his only requirements being a sack, a gun, and a particularly vicious and bad tempered dog.
Once in the jungle, he explained to his assistant. "I'll climb this tree and shake the branches, if there are any baboons up there, they will fall to the ground - and the dogs will bite their tail and immobilise them so that you can pick them up quite safely and put them in the sack."
"But what do I need the gun for?" asked the assisant.
"If I should fall out of the tree by mistake, shoot the dog."
