Consultant

A shepherd was herding a large flock in a remote pasture when a brand-new BMW drove up.
The driver was a young man all dressed up in an expensive suit. 

He leaned out the window and said to the shepherd, "If I tell you exactly how many sheep you have in your flock, will you give me one?"

The shepherd looked at the man, then looked at his large flock and calmly sure, "Sure, Why not?" 

The young man parked his car and whipped a small computer and connected it to his cell phone. 

He surfed the internet and called up a GPS satellite navigation system and got an exact fix on his location. 

Then the satellite scanned the area and produced an ultra-high-resolution photo which he fed to a processing facility in Hamburg, Germany. 

Within seconds, he received an email and he turned to the shepherd and said, "You have exactly 1,586 sheep."

The shepherd say, "Wow, that's right.

Well, I guess you can take one of my sheep." 

He watches as the young man selects one of his animals and stuffs it in the trunk of his car.

Then the shepherd said, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what you do for a living, will you give me back my sheep?" 

The young man thought about it for a second and said, "Okay, Why not?" 

The shepherd says, "You're a consultant." 

The young guy said, "Wow! That's correct, but how did you guess that?" 


"No guessing required." answered the shepherd, "You showed up even though nobody called you; you wanted to be paid for something I already knew and you don't know anything about my business.......now give me back my dog!"
