Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Once upon a time there was a shepherd looking after his sheep on the side of a deserted road. Suddenly a brand new Porsche screeches to a halt. The driver, a man dressed in an Armani suit, Cerutti shoes, Ray-Ban sunglasses, TAG-Heuer wrist-watch, and a Pierre Cardin tie, gets out and asks the Shepherd: If I can tell you how many sheep you have, will you give me one of them?" The shepherd looks at the young man, and then looks at the large flock of grazing sheep and replies: "Okay." The young man parks the car, connects his laptop to the mobile-fax, enters a NASA Webster, scans the Ground using his GPS, opens a database and 60 Excel tables filled with logarithms and pivot tables, then prints out a 150 page report on his high-tech mini-printer. He turns to the shepherd and says, "You have exactly 1,586 sheep here." The shepherd cheers,"that's correct, you can have your sheep." The young man makes his pick and puts it in the back of his Porsche. The shepherd looks at him and asks: "If I guess your profession, will you return my animal to me?" The young man answers, "Yes, why not". The shepherd says, "You are an IT consultant ". How did you know?" asks the young man. "Very simple," answers the shepherd. "First, you came here without being called. Second, you charged me a fee to tell me something I already knew, and third, you don't understand anything about my business... Now can I have my DOG back?" Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 A fleeing Taliban Arab, desperate for water, was plodding through theAfghanistan desert when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping tofind water, he walked toward the object, only to find a little old Jewishman sitting at a card table with neckties laid out on it.The Arab asked "My thirst is killing me. Do you have water?"The Jewish man replied "I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? Theyare only $150. This one goes very nicely with your robes."The Arab shouted," Idiot! I do not need an overpriced tie. I need water!""OK," said the old Jew, "it does not matter that you do not want to buy atie. I will show you that you have not offended me. If you walk over thathill to the east for about two miles, youwill find a lovely restaurant. Go! Walk that way! The restaurant has all thewater you need!"The Arab staggered away toward the hill and eventually disappeared.Four hours later the Arab came crawling back to where the Jewish man wassitting at his table.The Jew said, "I told you, about two miles over that hill. Could you notfind it?""I found it all right," rasped the Arab. "Your brother won't let me inwithout a tie." Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Search.
