A tourist walked into a pet store and was looking at the animals
on display. While he was there, a Chief Master Sergeant from the local air force base walked in and said to the shopkeeper, "I'll take a maintenance monkey, please."
The man 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 CMSgt, saying, "That'll be $5,000." The CMSgt paid and left with the monkey.
Surprised, the 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 maintenance monkey, he can rig aircraft flight controls, score 95 on the AF CDC test, perform the duties of any MX officer with no back talk or complaints. It's well worth the money."
The tourist spotted 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 tourist looked around a little longer and found a third monkey
in a cage. The price tag read, "$100,000". The shocked tourist
exclaimed, "That one costs more than all the others put together! What in the world could it do?"
"Well, I've never actually seen him do anything but drink beer and
play with himself, but his papers say he's a Pilot!"
