A Cowboy was overseeing his herd in a remote mountain pasture in Montana when suddenly a brand new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him
The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci Shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, He leans out the window and asks the Cowboy; “if I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?”
The Cowboy looks at the man, then he looks at his flock peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers; “sure why not”
The young man parks his car, whips out a digital photo in adobe Photoshop and exports it to Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in ultra-high-resolution photo.
The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany.
Within mere seconds, he receives an e-mail on his palm pilot that the image has been processed and the data is stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with e-mail on his blackberry and after a few minutes receives a response.
Finally he prints out a full colored, 150 page report on his high tech, miniaturized HP Laser Jet printer and finally turns to the cowboy and says; “you have exactly 1,586 cows & calves.”
“Is that right, well I guess you can take one of my calves” says the Cowboy.
He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of the car.
Then the Cowboy says to the young man, “hey if I can tell you what your business is, will you give me back my calf?”
The young man thinks about it for a minute and then says, “Okay why not?”
“You’re a Senator or a Congressman for the U.S. Government” says the cowboy.
“WOW!” That’s correct, says the man, “but how did you guess that?”
“No guessing required”, answered the cowboy. “You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don’t know a thing about cows…this is a herd of sheep! Now give me back my dog.
