OK poor me, you caused this.... I couldn't let this one pass as I have several consultants in my much loved family...LOL
COWBOY LOGIC
> A cowboy was herding his herd in a remote 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 AT&T cell phone, surfs to a NASA page on the
> Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system 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

> MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with hundreds
of

> 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 1586 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 consultant." 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; and you don't know anything
> about my business...
>
>
>
> ....Now give me back my dog."
