A tourist walked into a pet store and was looking at the animals on
display. While he was there, a CEO from United Air Lines walked in and
said to the shopkeeper "I'll take a 933 monkey, please".
The shopkeeper nodded, went to a cage at the side of the store, and took
out a monkey. He put a collar and leash on the animal and handed it the
Chief, saying, "That'll be $2,000." The man paid and left with the monkey.
The surprised tourist went to the shopkeeper and said, "That was a very
expensive monkey.. Most of them are only a few hundred dollars. Why did that
one cost so much?"
The shopkeeper answered, "Ah, that's a Baggage Handling monkey. He can build
pallets of freight, plan aircraft loads, drive forklifts, follow complicated manifests
and handle tons of bag! gage with no or complaints. It's well worth the money"
The tourist then spotted a monkey in another cage. "That one's even more
expensive! $10,000! What does it do?" he asked.
"Oh, that one" replied the shopkeeper. "That's a "Stewardess Monkey."
It can fly on a moment's notice, balance a food cart in mid air, deal with
irate customers and always remains pleasant, courteous and cheerful.
A very useful monkey indeed"
The tourist looked around a little longer and found a third monkey in a
cage. The price tag was $50,000. The shocked tourist exclaimed, "This one
costs more than all the others put together! What in the world can it do?"
"Actually," said the shopkeeper, "I've never actually seen him do anything
but drink beer and play with his penis, but his certified papers say he's a
