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 C 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 a few hundred pounds. Why did it cost so much?”
The shopkeeper answered, “Ah, that monkey can program in C - very fast,
tight code, no bugs, well worth the money.”
The tourist looked at a monkey in another cage.
“Hey, that one’s even more expensive! £10,000! What does it do?”
“Oh, that one’s a C++ monkey; it can manage object-oriented programming,
Visual C++, even some Java. 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. The tourist 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,
but it says it’s a project manager.”

The well bred contradict other people, the wise contradict themselves.
