: A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in
: a remote mountainous pasture in California
: 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, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie,
: 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?'
:
: 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 email on his
: Palm Pilot that the image has been processed
: and the data stored. He then accesses an
: 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
: HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the
: cowboy and says, 'You have exactly 1,586
: cows and calves.'
:
: '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 on amused as the young man
: stuffs it into the trunk of his car.
:
: Then the Bud says to the young man, '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, 'Okay, why not?'
:
: 'You're a Congressman for the U.S.
: Government', says Bud.
:
: 'Wow! That's correct,' says the yuppie, '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.
