Another Joke Called The Alberta Cowboy


An Alberta cowboy was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous
pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud
towards him.
The driver, a young man in an Armani suit,
Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and
asks the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly 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 it to his Rogers 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 receives 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 ODB 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 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
amused 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're a member of parliament for the Canadian Government", says
the cowboy.
"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 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."

This joke is funny and so true.
