      A Cowboy In Montana 
      >    A Montana cowboy was  watching his herd in a remote mountainous 
      >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 looked at the man,  obviously a yuppie, then looked at his 
      >peacefully grazing herd and calmly  answered,"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 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 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. This is 
      >a herd of sheep.  Now give me back my dog.
