Just a little joke to cheer you up...You probably have to be in the engineering business to understand.... 8)
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

The tourist say 'Ah...' and went on to look 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 except yapping all day long...but they say it's an Engineer monkey'...

I am in sales and I get these guys calling me with the oddest requests and expectations. Ear falls off.
