good one!!!
>>>A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous
>>>pasture in California when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced
>>>towards
>>>him out of a dust cloud.
>>>
>>>the driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan
>>>sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out of 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?"
>>>
>>>Bud looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his
>>>peacefully
>>>grazing herd and calmly answers, "sure, why not?"
>>>
>>>The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer,
>>>connects it to his 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 an 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 seconds he receives an e-mail on his Palm Pilot that the
>>>image
>>>has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL
>>>database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on
>>>his
>>>Blackberry and after a few minutes receives a response.
>>>
>>>Finally, he prints out a full-color 150 page report on his hi-tech
>>>miniaturized printer and turns to the cowboy and says "you have
>>>exactly 1,586 cows and calves."
>>>
&g t;>>"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says
>>>Bud.
>>>
>>>He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks
>>>amused as
>>>he stuffs it into the trunk of his car.
>>>
>>>Then Bud says "hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business
>>>is,
>>>will you give me back my calf?"
>>>
>>>The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "okey,
>>>why not?"
>>>
>>>"You are a congressman for the US Government."
>>>
>>>"Wow! That is correct, but how did you guess?"
>>>
>>>"No guessing required" answered Bud. "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.
