    A shepherd was herding his flock...

    Most probably on the site already but hey.....

    A shepherd was herding his flock in a remote pasture when a BMW
    advances out of the dust towards him. The driver, a young man in a Broni suit,
    Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and D+G tie, leans out the window and
    asks the shepherd, "If I tell you exactly how many sheep you have in your
    flock, will you give me one?"
    "Sure," says the shepherd, intrigued.
    The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook, connects it to
    his cell phone, calls up a GPS satellite navigation and imaging system.
    He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel
    spreadsheet with hundreds of complex formulas.
    He uploads all of this data via an email to his Blackberry, prints out
    a full-colour report on his miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally
    turns to the shepherd and says, "You have exactly 1586 sheep."
    "That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my sheep," says the
    shepherd.
    He looks on as the young man stuffs one of the animals into the trunk
    of his car.
    Then the shepherd says "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your
    businessis, will you give me back my sheep?"
    The young man says, "Okay, why not?"
    "You're a consultant," says the shepherd.
    "Wow!" says the yuppie. "How did you guess?"
    "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; and you
    know absolutely nothing about my business," said the shepherd.
    "Now give me back my dog."

    Class!

    an epic sentence: "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; and you know absolutely nothing about my business,"
