[Gllug] Joke

[Tushar Joshi]

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 fitted 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 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
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
the other monkeys call him the project manager."
