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,handed it to the customer, saying, " That'll be$5000." The customer paid and walked out with his monkey.
Startled, the tourist went over to the shopkeeper and "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 the money."
The tourist looked at the monkey in another cage. "That one's even more expensive! $10,000! What does it do?" "Oh, that one's a C++ monkey; it canmanage object-oriented programming, Visual C++, even some Java. All thereally useful stuff," said the shopkeeper.
The tourist looked around for a little longer and saw a third monkey in acage of its own. The price tag around its neck read $50,000. He gasped tothe shopkeeper, "That one costs more than all the other put together! What on earth does it do?" The shopkeeper replied, "Well, I haven't actually seenit do anything, but the other monkeys call him the project manager."
Cheers!
