Re (humor) Fw: Monkey C, monkey do.

[ROBERT SIDMAN <scribe -at- EZONLINE -dot- COM>]

A tourist walked into a pet shop and was looking at the animals on
display.

While he was there another customer walked in and said to the
shopkeeper, "I'll have a C monkey please."

The shopkeeper nodded, went over to a cage at the side of the shop, and
took out a monkey.  He fit a collar and leash and handed it to the
customer, saying, "That will be $5,000".  The customer paid and walked
out with his monkey.

Startled, the tourist went over to the shopkeeper and said, "That was a
very expensive monkey. Why did it cost so much?!".

The shopkeeper answered, "Ah, that monkey can program in C - very fast,
tight code, no bugs, well worth it!"

The tourist looked at the monkey in another cage.  "That one's even more
xpensive- $10,000!  What does it do?"

"Oh, that one's a C++ monkey; it can manage object-oriented programming,
Visual C++, even some Java.  All the really useful stuff", said the
shopkeeper.

The tourist looked around for a little longer and saw a third monkey in
a cage of its own.  The price tag around its neck read $50,000.  She
gasped to the shopkeeper,  "That one costs more than all the others put
together! What on earth does it do?"

The shopkeeper replied, "Well, I haven't actually seen it do anything,
>but it says it's a consultant."
