Sent to me by a good friend…<\/p>\n\n\n

The Shephard…<\/p>\n

A shepherd was herding his flocks in a remote pasture when suddenly
\n a brand new Jeep Cherokee advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver,
\n a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and a YSL
\n tie leaned out of the window and asked our shepherd: "If I can tell you
\n exactly how many sheep you have in your flock, will you give me one?"<\/p>\n

The shepherd looks at the yuppie, then at his peacefully grazing
\n flock and calmly answers "sure!" The yuppie parks the car, whips out his
\n notebook, connects it to a cell-phone, surfs to a NASA page on the Internet where
\n he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system, scans the area, opens up a
\n database and some 60 Excel spreadsheets with complex formulas. Finally
\n he prints out a 150 page report on his hi-tech miniaturized printer, turns round to our shepherd and says: "you have here exactly 1586 sheep!"<\/p>\n

"This is correct. As agreed, you can take one of the sheep"
\n says the shepherd. He watches the young man make a selection and bundle it in his Cherokee.<\/p>\n

Then he says: "If I can tell you exactly what your business
\n is, will you give me my sheep back?"<\/p>\n

"Okay, why not" answers the young man. "You are
\n a consultant" says the shepherd.<\/p>\n

"This is correct" says the yuppie, "How did you
\n guess that?"<\/p>\n

"Easy" answers the shepherd. "You turn up here although
\n nobody called you.You want to be paid for the answer to a question I already knew the solution to. And you don’t know @$#% about my business because you took
\n my dog."<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
