Take Him to the Zoo

A policeman strolling in the park one day was astonished to see a man walking towards him with a fully-grown African lion on a lead.
'Hey!' said the policeman, 'you can't walk around with a lion like that. Take him to the Zoo!'
'Oh, all right, officer, 'said the lion owner, and away he went. But the next day the policeman was again confronted with the man and his fully-grown African lion walking along the street.
'Hey, you!' yelled the policeman, 'I thought I told you yesterday to take that lion to the Zoo?'
'I did,' came the reply, 'and today I'm taking him to the cinema.'
