Project Leader

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 a C monkey please." 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, 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. Why did it cost so much?" The
shopkeeper answered, "Ah, that monkey can program in C - very fast,
tight code, no bugs, well
worth the money."

The tourist looked at the monkey in another cage. "That one's even
more expensive! $10,000! What does it do?" "Oh, that one's a C++
monkey; it can manage object-oriented programming, Visual C++, even
some Java. 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 other
put together! What on earth does it do?" The shopkeeper
replied, "Well, I haven't actually seen it do anything, but the
other monkeys call him the project Leader."
