Roger, an Englishman, is driving a van full of monkeys to the zoo when his van breaks down on the side of the road
As the narrative would have it, he waves down another van and it's driven by his friend Paddy.
"Paddy. I've called the AA but they can't get here for a couple of hours. I'll give you 50 quid to take these monkeys to the zoo."
"No problem," replies Paddy, and he loads the monkeys into his van and drives off.
A couple of hours pass, and the AA arrives and gets Roger's van going again. Just as he's about to get under way, he sees Paddy's van coming up the road and waves him down.
It's then that he sees the monkeys are still in Paddy's van.
"For fuck's sake, Paddy. I gave you fifty pounds to take the monkeys to the zoo!"
"I did," replies Paddy, "but I had a few quid left over and decided to take them to the movies, too!"
