A tourist walks into a pet shop in Redmond, WA and is browsing around 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 $5000.00.”<\/p>\n
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?”<\/p>\n
“Ah, that monkey can program in C, very fast, tight code, no bugs, Y2K compliant, well worth the money.”<\/p>\n
The tourist looks at the monkey in another cage. “That one’s even more expensive, $10,000 dollars! What does it do?”<\/p>\n
“Oh, that one’s a C++ Monkey. It can manage object-oriented windows programming, Visual C++, even some Java, all the really useful stuff.”<\/p>\n
The tourist looks around for a little longer and sees a third monkey in a cage of 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?”<\/p>\n
“Well, I haven’t actually seen it do anything, but it says it’s a consultant.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
