A shepherd was herding his flocks in a remote pasture when suddenly abrand new Jeep Cherokee advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. Thedriver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglassesand a YSL tie leaned out of the window and asked our shepherd: "If I cantell you exactly how many sheep you have in your flock, will you give meone?"©JOKEDEMO.COM
The shepherd looks at the yuppie, then at his peacefully grazing flockand calmly answers "sure!" The yuppie parks the car, whips out hisnotebook, connects it to a cell-phone, surfs to a NASA page on theInternet where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system, scans thearea, opens up a database and some 60 Excel spreadsheets with complexformulas. Finally he prints out a 150 page report on his hi-techminiaturized printer, turns round to our shepherd and says: "you havehere exactly 1586 sheep!"©JOKEDEMO.COM
"This is correct. As agreed, you can take one of the sheep," says theshepherd. He watches the young man make a selection and bundle it in hisCherokee.©JOKEDEMO.COM
Then he says: "If I can tell you exactly what your business is, will yougive me my sheep back?"©JOKEDEMO.COM
"Okay, why not" answers the young man. "You are a consultant," says theshepherd.©JOKEDEMO.COM
"This is correct," says the yuppie, "How did you guess that?"©JOKEDEMO.COM
"Easy" answers the shepherd. "You turn up here although nobody calledyou. You want to be paid for the answer to a question I already knew thesolution to. And you don't know anything about my business because youtook my dog."
