Here's a good one sent by a friend...

 

A shepherd is herding his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a

brand-new BMW advances out of a dust cloud towards him.

 

The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray-Ban sunglasses

and YSL tie, leans out the window and says to the shepherd:

 

"If I tell you exactly how many sheep you have in your flock, will you give

me one?"

 

The shepherd looks at the man, who is obviously a yuppie, then turns to his

peaceful, grazing flock and calmly answers, "OK, why not?"

 

So the yuppie parks his car, whips out his IBM Thinkpad, connects it to his

mobile phone, surfs the Internet and finds a NASA site. Then, using the Web

site, he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system and scans the area.

 

Next he opens up a database and an Excel spreadsheet with complex formulas

and after a few minutes he prints out a 150 page report on his hi-tech,

miniaturised printer.

 

Eventually he turns to the shepherd and says, "You have exactly 1,586

sheep."

 

"That's correct," says the shepherd "you can take one of the sheep."

 

He watches as the young man selects one of the animals and bundles it into

his car, then says: "Hold on a minute, if I can tell you exactly what your

business is, will you give me back my sheep?"

 

"OK, why not?" answers the young man.

 

"That's easy," says the shepherd "you're a consultant."

 

"That's spot on," says the yuppie, clearly amazed, "but how did you guess

that?"

 

"There was no guessing required," answers the shepherd.

 

"You turned up here, even though "Ooops, word censored!"ody called you. You expect to get paid

to give me an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked, and you

don't even know a thing about my business. Now give me back my dog."

A husband and his wife were sound asleep when suddenly the phone rang.

 

The husband picked up the phone and said, “Hello? How the heck do I know? What do I look like, a weatherman?” He then slammed the phone down and settled into bed.

 

“Who was that?” asked his wife.

 

“I don’t know. It was some guy who wanted to know if the coast was clear.”
