Apologies for starting a new thread, but a) I couldn't find the old one and b) I thougfht this would appeal.
A tourist walked into a pet store and was looking at the animals on display. While he was there, a CO from the local air base walked in and said to the shopkeeper "I'll take a 933 monkey, please".
The shopkeeper nodded, went to a cage at the side of the store, and took out a monkey. He put a collar and leash on the animal and handed it the Chief, saying, "That'll be $2,000." The man paid and left with the monkey.
The surprised tourist went to the shopkeeper and said, "That was a very expensive monkey. Most of them are only a few hundred dollars. Why did that one cost so much?"
The shopkeeper answered, "Ah, that's a 933 monkey. He can build pallets of freight, plan aircraft loads, rig loads for airdrop, drive forklifts, type manifests, heat meals for officers, and perform the duties of any TrafficTech with no back talk or complaints. It's well worth the money."
The tourist then spotted a monkey in another cage. "That one's even more expensive! $10,000! What does it do?" he asked.
"Oh, that one" replied the shopkeeper. "That's a "Maintenance Supervisor" monkey. It can instruct at all levels of maintenance, supervise maintenance at the unit, intermediate, and Depot level, and even do most of the paperwork. A very useful monkey indeed."
The tourist looked around a little longer and found a third monkey in a cage. The price tag was $50,000. The shocked tourist exclaimed, "This one costs more than all the others put together! What in the world can it do?"
"Actually," said the shopkeeper, "I've never actually seen him do anything but drink beer and play with his dick, but his papers say he's a helicopter pilot."
