Something to lift your spirits

[monkeysee]

A tourist walked into a pet shop and was looking at the animals on display.

Whilst he was there, another customer walked in and said to the shopkeeper,

"Can I have a CAD 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 lead, handed it to the customer. "That will be £5,000." said the shopkeeper. 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 a few hundred pounds. Why did that one cost so much?"

 

The shopkeeper answered, "Ah, that monkey can draw on CAD - 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 ones a Design monkey; it can design systems, layout projects, mark-up drawings, write specifications, some even calculate. 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 others put together! What on earth does it do?"

 

The shopkeeper looked up and replied, "Well, I haven't actually seen it do anything, but it says it's an Architect."

 

Apologies to any architects out there!
