>                         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.
