As the joke goes...
Two scientists think they've cracked the secret of creating a humanzee. However, in order to test their theory, they need a human to mate with their chimpanzee, so they take out an add in the local newspaper (it's an old joke. A newspaper is what we used for news in the before times) that reads, "Man wanted for sex with chimpanzee for $1000"
The next day a man walks in and says, "I'll do it on three conditions. First, my wife can never know. Second, the children must be baptized. Finally, I'll have to pay in installments."

You can tell that this joke is old because they think that $1000 is be a lot. Nowadays, with how much inflation we've had, I would want at least $500
I first heard that one in the 80s, when I was in high school. I thought about making it more, but that's how I heard it, so that's how I'll tell it. :)
