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'll be $5000."
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 - most of
them are only a few hundred dollars. 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 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.
He 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."
