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 an AutoCAD monkey,
please."
The shopkeeper nodded, went over to a cage at the side of the
shop and took out a monkey. He fitted 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. Most of them are only few
hundred dollars. Why did that one cost so much?"
The Shopkeeper answered, "Ah, that monkey can draw in AutoCAD
* very fast, clear layouts, no mistakes, well worth the money."
The tourist looked at a monkey in another cage. "That one's
Even more expensive! $10,000! What does it do?"
"Oh, that one's a Design monkey; it can design systems,
layout projects, mark-up drawings, write specifications, some
even do calculations. All the really useful stuff," said the
shopkeeper.
The tourist looked around for a little longer and saw a third
monkey in its own cage. The price tag around its neck read
$50,000. He gasped to the shopkeeper, "That one costs more
than all the others put together! What on earth does it do?"
The shopkeeper replied, "Well, I haven't actually seen it do
anything, but it says it's a Piping Designer."
