A tourist walked into a pet store and looked at the animals on display.
While he was there, a Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant from the local Air
Station walked in and said to the shopkeeper, "I'll take a 6114 Monkey,
please."
The clerk nodded, went to a cage and took out a monkey. He put a
collar
and leash on the animal and handed it to the Gunny, saying, "That'll be
$ 1,000." The Gunny paid and left with the animal.
"That was a very expensive monkey!" said the tourist. "Why so much?"
The shopkeeper replied. "That particular animal can rig aircraft
flight
controls, set up perimeter defense, and perform the duties of an SDO
with
no mistakes. He even scored 300 on the Marine Corps PFT. He's well
worth
the money."
The tourist spotted another monkey selling for $ 10,000. "Wow!" he
said.
"What can it do?"
"He's a 'Maintenance Supervisor' monkey," replied the clerk. "He can
instruct all levels of maintenance, supervise Depot operations and even
do
most of the paperwork. A very useful animal."
A third monkey was selling for $ 50,000.
Again, the tourist inquired.
"Well," said the shopkeeper, "I've never actually seen him do anything
but
drink beer, play golf, and play with his penis. But his papers say
he's a
Pilot."
