An oldie one, but still good for a chuckle......Y'all enjoy your weekend.


"A fellow walked into a pet store and was looking at the animals on display.

While he was there, an Airman from the local Missouri guard unit walked in and said to the shopkeeper, "I'd like a line monkey, please."

The clerk 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 Airman, saying "That'll be $1,000." The Airman paid and left with the monkey.

Surprised, the fellow 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 was a line service monkey. He can park, fuel, and service all air national guard aircraft, conduct all required ground ops testing, rig aircraft flight controls, and all with no mistakes. He is also trained in all flight line ops. He's well worth the money."

With his interest peaked, the fellow looked around and spotted a Monkey in another cage with a $10,000 price tag. "That one's even more expensive! What can it do?"

Oh, that one is a "Maintenance Supervisor" monkey. He can instruct at all levels of aircraft maintenance, supervise all corrective and preventive maintenance programs, supervise a crew of maintainers, and even do most of the paperwork. A very useful monkey indeed," replied the shopkeeper.

The guy looked around a little longer and found a third monkey in a cage.
The price tag read, "$50,000". Holy crap! What does this one do?"
"Well, the shopkeeper said, I've never actually seen him do anything but drink beer, screw the girl monkeys, and play with his pecker, but his papers say he's a pilot."
