Zealancer joke of the month
A young man in a suit, open shirt and sports car is held up on a country lane by a large flock of sheep. Realizing that he has to make to most of the situation he makes the grassier an offer:
"If I can tell you how many sheep you have in your flock I can take on home."
The grassier is perplexed by the offer but willing to go along with it and agrees to the wager.
The young man brings out a large laptop and establishes a connection with an Earth observation satellite. Then he initiates the image-processing software and a statistical analysis program. After a short while he exclaims triumphantly, "There have exactly 342 sheep in your flock". "That´s right!" says the grassier. The young man takes an animal and puts it in the passenger seat.
After a short time the grassier asks the young man: "If I can guess your profession, can I get my sheep back?" The young man agrees to the challenge. Without hesitation he laughs and says "You´re a business consultant."
"That´s right" says the business consultant very surprised, "but how´d you know?" he asks as he gives the sheep back. In a slow drawl the grassier says "Oh, it´s easy. Firstly, nobody called you but you came anyway, secondly you tell me things I already knew and, thirdly, you know nothing about sheep. Can I get my shepherd dog back?"
