Different software (geek) monkeys cost differently.
An interesting conversation!!!
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 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 other put together! What on earth does it do?"
The shopkeeper replied,
"Well, I haven't actually seen it doing anything, but the other monkeys call him the project manager."
