Texas cowboy vs BMW stranger

A West Texas 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 Brioni 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 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
>>>**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 ODBC 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 Congressman for the U.S. 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........
>>>Now give me back my dog.
