THE SHEPHERD AND THE YUPPIE

A shepherd was tending his flock when he saw a young man in an expensive car. The man said, "I'll tell you exactly how many sheep you have if you give me one." The shepherd agreed. The man pulled out his laptop and checked a spreadsheet. He looked up and said, "You have 1,586 sheep." The shepherd said, "You're correct. You can have one of my sheep." The Yuppie put an animal into his car. Then the shepherd said, "If I tell you what your business is, will you return my sheep?" The yuppie agreed. The shepherd said, "You showed up uninvited, you want payment for an answer I already knew, to a question I didn't ask, and you know nothing about my business. You're a consultant. Now give me back my dog."
