Once upon a time there was a shepherd
looking after his sheep on the edge of a deserted road. Suddenly a
brand new Jeep Cherokee screeches to a halt next to him.
The driver a young man dressed in a Brioni suit, Cerutti shoes, Ray-Ban
sunglasses and a YSL tie gets out and asks the shepherd: "If I guess
how many sheep you do have, would you give me one of them?" The shepherd
looks at the young man, then looks at the sheep - "All right."
The young man parks the car, connects the notebook and the mobile,
enters a NASA site, scans the ground using his GPS opens a database
and 60 Excel tables filled with algorithms, then prints out a 150-page
report on his high-tech mini-printer.
"You have exactly 1586 sheep." "Correct," says the shepherd. "You
may take your sheep." The man takes the sheep and puts it in the back
of his car.
The shepherd asks, "If I guess your profession, can I have the sheep
back?" "Why not," answers the man. "You're a Consultant," says the
shepherd. "How did you guess?" he asks "Very simple," replies the
shepherd. "First you come here without being called. Secondly, you
charge me to tell me something I already knew. And thirdly, you do
not understand anything about what I do - you took my dog!!
