Ack...city life
A buddy in the ANG just e-mailed this. Aint it the truth! Reminds me to the T of a couple guys.
Subject: Maintenance Monkey
A man walked into a pet store and was looking at the animals on display. While he was there, a Chief Master Sergeant (CMSgt) from the local airbase walked in and said to the shopkeeper, "I'll take a maintenance 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 to the CMSgt saying, "That'll be $5,000." The CMSgt paid and left with the monkey.
Surprised, the man went to she 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 maintenance monkey. He can rig aircraft flight controls, score 95 on the APFT, perform the duties of any PC officer with no back talk or complaints. It's well worth the money."
The man pointed to a monkey in another cage. "That one's even more expensive -- $10,000! What does it do?"
"Oh that one is 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," replied the shopkeeper.
The man looked around a little longer and found a third monkey in a cage. The price tag read $50,000. The shocked tourist exclaimed, "That one costs more than all the others put together! What in the world does it do?"
"Well, I've never seen him do anything but drink beer, fart, scratch his balls and play with himself, but his papers say he's a Pilot.
