>>Subject: Alberta Cowboy Joke
>>
>>
>>An Alberta cowboy was over seeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture
>>when suddenly a brand new BMW advanced out of a cloud of dust 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 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
>>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 retrieves 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 ODCB 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 high-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 in
>>amusement 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 work for the Canadian Government, says the cowboy.
>>
>>"Wow! That's correct," says the young man, "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 giving me 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. this is a
>>herd of sheep. Now give me back my dog."
