FF's A. Ruiz & R. Hoydis fight a Sunday morning car fire at Best Buy.
A man walks into a pet store and is looking around when he spots a Chimpanzee in a cage marked, "$1000". The man looks a little closer and discovers that the chimpanzee is wearing a T-shirt bearing the Maltese Cross and is cleaning a fog nozzle. Curious about this, the man summons the store keeper and asks him what the deal is with this thousand dollar monkey.
"Sir, You have discovered our Fire Service Monkeys". This one is our Firefighter version. It has a Basic Firefighters certification with IFSAC seals, is also a Licensed Paramedic, can perform vehicle extrications, high angle rescue and is up to date on current CPR standards. A very good value for a thousand dollars.
The man is suitably impressed and moves to the next cage, which is occupied by a gorilla - also wearing the same T-shirt, but is gnawing on a pen and reading training manuals.
The storekeeper states, "Sir, You have discovered the Captain model. This one has an Advanced Firefighter certification, is capable of training the other monkeys in basic firefighting skills, and can manage any emergency scene. It can also type. A very good value for five- thousand, Sir."
Impressed, the man moves to the last cage. Inside, he finds an orangutan, dressed in a white shirt and a tie, but holding only a coffee cup. The man says, "What does this one do that he's worth $10,000 ?"
The storekeeper clears his throat and says, "Ah, sir, well, um... we have never actually seen him do anything except drink coffee and play with himself, but he says he's a Fire Chief. "
