[Is the bug still there?]

   Stan had been out of work for many months. He decided to try a job with a
visiting circus.
   ``What can you do?'' asked the circus owner.
   ``Anything ... anything at all. Jump through hoops, walk tightropes, makes
kids laugh. You name it ... so long as it does not involve the lions. I can't
stand lions.''
   ``O.K. you're on. As it happens, the gorilla died last week, so hop into
this gorilla suit, get into that cage over there, and when customers come past
leap about and look fierce.''
   Stan threw himself into the job, roaring and beating his chest and jumping
up and down when anyone came near. Suddenly the floor of the cage collapsed
under his efforts and he fell into the cage below --the lion's den.
   ``Help, help, get me out!'' he cried. ``I hate lions!''
   The lion leapt on him, pinned him to the ground, and hissed:
   ``Belt up mate--what do you want to do, get us both the sack?''
