A tourist walked into a pet store and was looking at the animals on
display.
While he was there, a Master Chief from the local Naval Air Station walked
in and said to the shopkeeper, "I'll take a 6252 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
Master Chief, saying, "That'll be $1,000." The "Top" paid the bill 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's a 6252 monkey, he can rig aircraft
flight controls, score 300 on the PFT, professionally manage his shop, and
perform the duties of ASDO with no mistakes. 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 O, I , and D 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 7565 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 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 fighter pilot."
