THE SHEPHERD AND THE YUPPIE

A shepherd was just leaning on his crook by a field gate watching the world go by, when out of nowhere came a black Mercedes-Benz SLK down the unmade road. It ground to a halt in a cloud of dust beside the shepherd and a man poked his head out of the open side window and said "If I can tell you how many sheep you have in that field without going in, can I have one?"

The shepherd replied "'spose so". The yuppie jumped out of the car and whipped out his laptop, hooked it up to the NASA satellite and ran his bespoke GPS program which scanned the field and presented a report. He quickly printed it off and said "The report shows that you have 315 sheep in the field, is that right?"

"Yes" said the shepherd "take your pick". While the man was wrestling it into his car the shepherd said "If I can guess what you do for a living can I have moy sheep back?"

"OK" replied the Yuppie.

The shepherd said "You're a Management Consultant aren't you?"

"Well yes" said the yuppie "but how did you guess?"

The shepherd explained "you came up here without an invitation, answered a question I did not ask, charged me for the answer - which I knew and wasted half an hour of my time. Now give me back my F****** DOG!!!"
