------- Forwarded foolishness follows -------
A hard-working computer programmer finally took a vacation.
While hiking in the mountains, he came upon a shepherd tending a flock
of sheep.
Taking a fancy to the sheep, he asked the shepherd, "If I can guess how
many sheep you have, can I have one?"
T e shepherd thought this request odd, but knowing there was little
chance of guessing correctly, agreed.
"You've got 287 sheep," the programmer said.
To the shepherd's astonishment, it was the correct number.
The shepherd told the man he'd guessed correctly and to go ahead and
pick out a sheep to take home.
But as soon as the programmer picked up a small sheep and started to
carry it away, the shepherd said, "Wait a minute. You have to give me a
chance, too. If I can guess what you do for a living, can I have that
sheep back?"
Figuring there was little chance the shepherd would guess correctly, the
programmer went along, only to be shocked when the shepherd said,
"You're a computer programmer, right?"
"How did you know?" asked the programmer.
The shepherd said, "Put down the dog and we'll talk about it."
