While he was there another customer walked in and said to the shopkeeper, ''I'll have that monkey please''.©JOKEDEMO.COM

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 and handed it to the customer, saying, ''That'll be $5000''.©JOKEDEMO.COM

The customer paid and walked out with his monkey.©JOKEDEMO.COM

Startled, the tourist went over to the shopkeeper and said, ''That was a very expensive monkey. Most of them are only a few hundred dollars. Why did he cost so much?''©JOKEDEMO.COM

The shopkeeper answered, ''Ah, that monkey can program in 'C' very fast, tight code, no bugs, well worth the money.''©JOKEDEMO.COM

The tourist looked at the monkey in another cage. ''That one's even more expensive - $10,000! What does he do?''©JOKEDEMO.COM

''Oh, that one's a C++ monkey; he can manage object-oriented programming, Visual C++, even some Java. All the really useful stuff,'' said the shopkeeper.©JOKEDEMO.COM

The tourist looked around for a little longer and saw a third monkey in a cage of his own.©JOKEDEMO.COM

The price tag around his neck read $50,000. He gasped to the shopkeeper, ''That one costs more than all the others put together! What on earth does he do?''©JOKEDEMO.COM

The shopkeeper shrugged and said, ''Well, to tell you the truth, I haven't actually seen him do anything, but he says he's a SAP consultant.''
