Good Morning People
I'm in a bit of a rush today. I'm filled with excitement. Funky is now the proud owner of a 'sat-nav' system. To be exact I have been an owner for about a month now and have finaly trained myself how to turn it on. I suppose things might have moved on a bit quicker had I read the instructions first! But where is the fun in that? I will let you know later how I get on, if I can find the thing. Meanwhile here is a little story for ya.
Once upon a time there was a shepherd tending his sheep at the edge of a country road on Salisbury Plain. A brand new Land Rover Discovery screeched to a halt next to him. The driver, a young man dressed in a Brioni suit, Cerrutti shoes, Ray-Ban glasses, Jovial Swiss wristwatch and a BHS tie, jumped out and asked the guy "If I guess how many sheep you have, will you give me one of them?" The shepherd looked at the young man, then looked at the sprawling herd of grazing sheep and said "Okay." The young man parked the 4x4, connected his notebook and wireless modem, entered a mobile site, scanned the ground using satellite imagry and a GPS, opened a database and 60 Excel tables filled with algorithms, then printed a 150-page report on his high-tech mini-printer. He turned to the shepherd and said "You have exactly 1,586 sheep here." The Shepherd answered "Say, you are right. Pick out a sheep."The young man took one of the animals and put it in the back of his vehicle. As he was preparing to drive away, the herder looked at him and asked "Now, if I guess your profession, will you pay me back in kind?" The young man answered "Sure." The Shepherd said immediately "You are a consultant." "Exactly! How did you know?" asked the young man. "Very simple," replied the herder. "First you came here without being invited. Secondly, you charged me a fee to tell me something I already knew. Thirdly, you do not understand anything about my business, and I'd really like to have my dog back."
