PATROL MONKEY PATROL MONKEY:
A tourist visiting Los Angeles walked into a pet shop and was looking at
the animals on display.
While he was there, a Sgt. from LAPD 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, handed it to the LAPD Sgt.
saying, "That'll be $1,000."
The Sgt. 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 can fire Expert with all small
arms, 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 Deputy Sheriff Patrol monkey; it can
instruct other monkeys in Basic Firearms Skills, Counter Terrorism
Training, Physical Training, Small Unit Tactics and investigative
techniques, and 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 $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, but
it says it's a CHP officer." To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. |
