Wyoming Cowboy and a Yuppie

A Wyoming cowboy was herding his cows 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, and

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 photo shop 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 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........ "

"Now give me back my dog!"
