A COWBOY NAMED BUD

A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous
pasture in California 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 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'?

Bud 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 mere seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the
image has been processed and the data is 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 Bud. 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 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 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.
