We've heard talk about Code Monkeys before....

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. "That
was a very expensive monkey - most of them are only a few
hundred dollars. Why did it cost so much?"

"Ah, that monkey can program in C - very fast, tight code,
no bugs, well worth the money."

The tourist looks at the other monkeys in the 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."

The tourist looks round for a little longer and sees a third
monkey in a cage on its own. The price tag around 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, I don't know if he does anything, but he says he's a
consultant."
