Donkeys can double up as zebras
How a donkey can double up as a zebra beats imagination but that is just what the Marah Land Zoo in Gaza City has succeeded in doing. In the zoo that does not have any zebra, some bright minds conjured up a solution, they have a substitute – paint stripes on a donkey and it becomes a zebra!!! A real zebra is a costly affair and would put back the owner by nearly US$40,000 – painting a donkey is certainly cheaper option. After all, kids who have never zebras before accept the painted donkey as a zebra. How they plan to keep the zebras from braying are not disclosed – probably they would put clamps on the mouths.

You know the economy is bad when the zoo paints donkeys because they can't afford zebras. Forget all the analysis the government does to determine a recession. That's unnecessary. All you have to do is look for painted donkeys at the zoo. That should be the official test.
yes, a sure shot test - at least where zebras are involved ...
Eventually this won't go as far and the zoo will have to be more practical.
it releases the zoo owner's tension temporarily ... he also knows that he cannot fool all the visitors all the time ...
So the 'Gaza zebras'are back in the news?I had written about the poor donkey forced to take the place of a zebra in a zoo in Gaza a few months ago. Now there are more than one and children are taking rides on their backs. That's amazing!
thanks for the update fauzia ... it certainly is a strange world ...
