The Patrol Monkey


Recommended Posts

A tourist visiting New York City walked into a pet shop and

was looking at the animals on display. While he was there, a

police officer walked in and said to the shopkeeper, "I'll

take a Patrol monkey, please." The shopkeeper nodded, went

over to a cage at the side of the shop, and took out a

monkey. He fit it with a collar and leash and handed it to

the officer saying, "That'll be $1,000." The officer 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 dollars. Why did it cost so much?"

The shopkeeper answered, "Ah, that monkey is an expert in

firing small arms, can write 20 tickets a month, and is

certified in small unit tactics -- well worth the money!"

The tourist looked at the monkey in another cage. "That

one's even more expensive! $10,000! What does it do?"

"Oh, that one's a POST certified Technician Patrol monkey;

it can instruct other monkeys in basic firearms skills,

counter-terrorism training, physical training, small unit

tactics, and investigative techniques, and it can even type.

All the really useful stuff," said the shopkeeper.

The tourist looked around for a little longer and saw a

third monkey in a large cage of its own. The price tag

around its neck read $70,000. 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, but it says it's a Sergeant."
