The Cowboy

Got this in my e-mail.. lol.., too funny not to share ;-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An Albertan cowboy named Shane was overseeing his herd in a n
Isolated pasture in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains 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, RayBan
Sunglasses and Y SL 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?"

Shane 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
Page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact
Fix on his location which he then feeds to a 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
Shane .

He watches the young man sellect one of the animals and looks on amused
As the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then Shane 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 Conservative politician from Ottawa ", says Shane .

"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
Flock of sheep. . . .


Now give me back my dog. :-p
