C monkey
A tourist walks into a pet shop in Silicon Valley, and is browsing
round the cages on display. While he's there, another customer walks
in and says to the shopkeeper, "I'll have a C monkey, please".
The shopkeeper nods, goes over to a cage at the side of the shop and
takes out a monkey. He fits a collar and leash and hands it to the
customer, saying "That'll be $5,000". The customer pays and walks out
with his monkey.
Startled, the tourist goes over to the shopkeeper and says, "That was
a very expensive monkey--most of them are only a few hundred dollars.
Why did it cost so much?"
"Oh", says the shopkeeper, "that monkey can program in C with very
fast, tight code, no bugs, well worth the money."
The tourist starts to look at the monkeys in the cage. He says to the
shopkeeper, "That one's even more expensive, $10,000! What does it
do?"
"Oh", says the shopkeeper, "that one's a C++ monkey; it can manage
object-oriented programming, Visual C++, even some Java, all the
really useful stuff."
The tourist looks round for a little longer and sees a third monkey in
a cage on its own. The price tag
round its neck says $50,000. He gasps to the shopkeeper, "That one
costs more than all the others put together! What on earth does it
do?"
"Well," says the shopkeeper, "I don't know if it does anything, but it
says it's a Consultant."
