------- Forwarded foolishness follows -------
A shepherd was herding his flocks in a remote pasture when suddenly a
brand new BMW X5 SUV advanced out of a dust cloud towards him.
The driver, a young man in an Armani suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban
sunglasses and a YSL tie leaned out of the window and asked the
shepherd: "If I tell you exactly how many sheep you have in your flock,
will you give me one?"
The shepherd looks at the yuppie, then at his peacefully grazing flock
and calmly answers, "Sure!"
The yuppie parks the car, whips out his notebook, connects it to a cell-
phone, surfs to a NASA page on the Internet where he calls up a GPS
satellite navigation system, scans the area, opens up a database and 60
Excel spreadsheets with complex formulas.
Finally he prints out a 150 page report on his hi-tech miniaturized
printer, turns round to the shepherd and says: "You have exactly 1586
sheep!"
"That is correct; take one of the sheep" says the shepherd. He watches
the young man select a sheep and bundle it in his SUV. Then he says: "If
I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me my sheep
back?"
"Okay, why not?" answers the young man.
"Clearly, you are a consultant." says the shepherd.
"That's correct!" says the yuppie, "But how did you guess that?"
"Easy," answers the shepherd. "You turn up here although nobody called
you. You want to be paid for the answer to a question I already knew,
and you don't know squat about my business because you took my dog!"
