Fringe Festival Funniest Joke - can you beat it?

The top joke was rubbish, here's my opinion of why:

A great joke has to be both funny and clever, that one was:
Funny - yes (subjectively of course), in that cheetah and cheater are puns
Clever - no, in that a zookeeper and a cheetah are not directly comparable as one is a human and one an animal so the dating a cheetah bit doesn't work literally, despite the pun.

A lot of the other jokes in this thread are both funny and clever, for example you can imagine a mathematician working something out with a pencil in both the mathematical and constipated manner.

that's a post-mortem on the joke though - and doesn't immediately cross your mind on the first hearing -
many jokes if you masticate them for too long, like coconut, loose their taste.
