Job Difficulty Rating System
Contributed By: Gordon McKenzie
Having started this whole Shade Tree Howler Monkey [tm] reference, I
feel obliged to reveal the rating system for a job's degree of
difficulty in STHM terms:
- 1 banana = easy
- 2 bananas = moderately difficult
- 3 bananas = pushing the limits of a stock howler monkey; opposable thumbs only get you so far
- 4 bananas = requires the ability to communicate abstract ideas to other howler monkeys.
- 5 bananas = the job should only be attempted by a professional orangutan
Hope this clarifies things.

Actually, that was started by Larry Soo (Lars) on the offroad list. I It was
all based on Shadetree Howler Monkeys. Course you have to know Larry to
understand where this came from.
