    CONSULTANTS

    A shepherd was herding his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a
    brand-new BMW advances out of the dust cloud towards him. The driver, a
    young man in a Broni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie,
    leaned out of the window and asked the shepherd, "If I tell you exactly how
    many sheep you have in your flock, will you give me one?"

    The shepherd looked at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looked at his
    peacefully-grazing flock and calmly answered, "Sure."

    The yuppie parked his car, whipped out his notebook and connected it to a
    cell phone, then he surfed to a NASA page on the internet where he called
    up a GPS satellite navigation system, scanned the area, and then opened up
    a database and an Excel spreadsheet with complex formulas. He sent an email
    on his Blackberry and after a few minutes, received a response. Finally, he
    prints out a 150 page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized printer then
    turns to the shepherd and says, "You have exactly 1586 sheep."

    "That is correct; take one of the sheep", said the shepherd. He watches the
    young man select one of the animals and bundle it into his car.

    Then the shepherd says: "If I can tell you exactly what your business is,
    will you give my animal back ?"

    "OK, why not" answered the young man.

    "Clearly, you are a consultant" said the shepherd.

    "That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"

    "No guessing required," answers the shepherd. "You turned up here although
    nobody called you. You want to get paid for an answer I already know, to a
    question I never asked, and you don't know crap about my business. Now give
    me back my dog."
