[Rhodes22-list] Joke - Political

[brad haslett]

A 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 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... 

  

Now give me back my dog."
