A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd
in a remote mountainous pasture in Montana when suddenly a brand-new BMW
advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.
The
driver, a young man in a Brioni® suit, Gucci® shoes, RayBan® sunglasses and YSL®
tie, leaned out the window and asked 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, who obviously is 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, 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 with amusement 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 used
millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than
me you are; and you don't know a thing about how working people make a living -
or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of
sheep.
Now
give me back my dog.
