v\:* {behavior:url (#default#vml);}v\:* { BEHAVIOR: url (#default#vml)} This is probably very old but... A tourist walked into a pet shop and was looking at the animals on display, when 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. "That'll be $5,000." 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. Why did it cost so much?" The shopkeeper answered, "Ah, that monkey can programme in C - very fast, tight code, no bugs, 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 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. 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 the other monkeys call him the Management consultant." Chris --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
