Cowboy Logic
A West Texas cowboy was herding his cattle in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud toward him. the driver, a young man in a Broni suit, gucci shoes, Ray Ban sun glasses 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 that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.
The young man then opens the digital in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany. Within seconds, he recieves an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a SQL database through an odbc connected Excel spreadsheet with email on the Blackberry and after a few minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he puts oyt 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 watched the young man select one of the animals and looks on in amusement 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 consultant for the National Democrat Party." says the cowboy.
"Wow! That's correct." says the yuppie, But how did you know 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 know, to a question I never asked; and you don"t know anything about my business....Now, give me back my dog."

It could have been much worse. He could have tried to get the horse into the trunk
