Corporate Stuff…
July 1st, 2005 by gaurav | 1 Comment | Filed in ,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.”
Ha..ha..ha…My sincere apologies to all Project Managers.
