Well worth a read !!!!!

*A* * Montana cowboy was overseeing his herd in a remote
mountainous pasture 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, Ray Ban 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?”*

*The cowboy 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 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 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 the
cowboy. *

*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 the cowboy 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 Democratic Congressman for the U.S. Government”, says the cowboy.
*

*”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.”*
