A shepherd was tending his flock
in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new Jeep Cherokee appeared out of a
dust cloud, advanced toward him and stopped. The driver, a 20-something fella
wearing a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses, and a YSL tie, leaned
out of the window and asked the shepherd, "If I can tell you exactly how many
sheep you have in your flock, will you give me one?"
The shepherd looked at the young
guy, then at his peacefully grazing flock and calmly answered, "sure."
The young man parked his car,
whipped out his notebook computer, connected it to a cell phone, surfed to a
NASA page on the Internet where he called up a GPS satellite navigation system,
scanned the area, then opened up a database and some Excel spreadsheets with
complex formula. He finally printed out a 15-page report on his hi-tech
miniaturized printer, turned around to our shepherd and said, "You have here
exactly 1,586 sheep!"
"Amazing! That's correct! Like I
agreed, you can have one of my sheep,"said the shepherd.
The shepherd watched the man make
a selection and bundle it into his Cherokee. When he was finished the
sheepherder said, "If I can tell you exactly what your political persuasion is
and who you work for, will you give me back my sheep?"
"Okay, why not," answered the
young man.
"You're a Democrat and you're
working for Jesse Jackson," said the shepherd.
"Wow! That's correct," said the
young man. "How did you ever guess that?"
"Easy," answered the shepherd.
"Nobody called you, but you showed up here anyway. You want to be paid for
providing a solution to a question I already knew the answer to. And you clearly
don't know squat about what you're doing. Now... can I have my DOG
BACK???
