Got this in an e-mail......
[b]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
wherehe 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?"
