This is a funny one. > A cowboy was herding his cows in a remote pasture when suddenly a
> brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a
> young man in a YSL suit, Fendi shoes, Bvlgari sunglasses and an Armani
> 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
> AT&T cell phone, 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

> "You're a consultant to the Kerry campaign." says the cowboy.

> "Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"
