Need help brainstorming, preferably from weird people

[xiphias]

I'm trying to figure out a situation in which lemurs, gnus, and monkeys would be useful. Like, a reason that someone would need someone to send lemurs, gnus, and monkeys to him. All I can think of is stocking a zoo, but that seems to lack comedic possibilities.

Knitting strangely textured sweaters?

Extras in an even stranger movie/play?

Veterinary school specimens?

(Currently filking the Spiderman theme with stonebender -- it's not as easy as it might sound, but twice as strange.)

Geneticist who needs live samples?
Travelling petting zoo that suddenly needs replacements?
Sequel to the credits from Monty Python and the Holy Grail?
Kasting kall for King Kong sequel?
The weirdest little whorehouse in Kansas?

A truly stunning prom conveyance, drawn by gnus with the lemurs sitting on their backs like little postillions, and the monkeys dressed up as footmen and trained to let down the steps and put the steps back up, and ride behind on the little platform.

Ooh. I want one.

"Lemurs, gnus, and monkeys,
Monkeys, lemurs, and gnus,
You can give 'em to me all or one at a time,
I don't care which one I... use..."

Oh dear...

Anyway, I vote for casting call. For a movie about Noah's Ark?

If you think dealing with a zoo lacks comedic possibilities you've never seen Fierce Creatures :)

Damnit, it was "Lemurs, Guns, and monkeys" that I wanted! How else were we supposed to arrange the prison break? The lemurs and monkeys climb over the walls, sneak through the prison, and deliver the guns. But the gnus are far to heavy for the lemurs and monkeys to carry over the wall, and far less deadly!

Sexual perversion?

A photographer working on a strange advertising campaign for animal crackers?

Michael Jackson's personal assistant?

Or, alternately, a casting call for a alphabet book of animal pictures....
