IT Monkeys

[Dingo]

A man went into a pet shop and was browsing around for something unusual to buy for his wife. While he was there, someone came in and asked the shopkeeper if he had "a C monkey".

The shopkeeper nodded, went over to a cage and took out a monkey. He put on collar and leash and handed it to the customer, saying, "That'll be £5,000". The customer paid and walked out with his ape.

Intrigued, the man asked the shopkeeper "Why was that monkey so expensive?"

The shopkeeper answered "Well, it can program in C - very fast, tight code, no bugs, well worth the money".

The man noticed another monkey in the next cage. "That one's even more expensive! £10,000! What does it do?"

"Oh, that one's a C++ monkey; it can write object-oriented programs, Visual C++, even some Java, and is a great GUI designer" replied the shopkeeper.

Carrying on along the line of cages, the man noticed a third monkey in a cage of its own. The price tag around its neck read £50,000. Amazed, he said 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 the other monkeys call him the Project Manager".
