----- *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 inHamburg , Germany

> Within seconds, he receives an email 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 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 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.***
