Someone at my job sent me this joke. I thought it was pretty good. Im sure only a few will understand.
The CAD Monkey
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 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 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
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 replied, "Well, I haven't actually seen it do
anything, but it says it's an Engineer."
