I HAVE A FRIEND WHO SEEMS TO BE ON A ROLL THIS MORNING






BUD THE
COWBOY

A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in
a remote mountainous pasture in Montana when suddenly a brand new BMW
advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.

The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit,
Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and
asked the cowboy, “If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you
have in your herd, will you give me a calf?”

Bud looks at the man, who obviously is 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 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 an
MS-SQLdatabase 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,
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 Bud.
He watches the young man select one of the
animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into
the trunk of his car.

Then Bud 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 Bud.

"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 used
millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much
smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about how working
people make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of
sheep.

Now give me
back my dog.

AND THAT
FOLKS IS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS ABOUT
