HHH

The wonders of technology!

A farmer was overseeing his stock in a remote pasture,
when suddenly a brand new BMW advanced towards him out of a cloud of dust.
The driver, a young man in a Zegna suit, Gucci shoes, Rayban sunglasses
and YSL tie, Leant out of the window and asked the farmer,
"If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have
in your herd, will you give me a calf?"

The farmer 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 AT&T 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 ipad 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 farmer
and says, "You have exactly 1586 cows and calves."

"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says the
farmer. 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 farmer 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 consultant for the Greens Party", says the farmer.

"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"

"No guessing required" answered the farmer. "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 used millions of dollars worth of
equipment trying to show me how much smarter you are than me: you dont
care how working people make a living, and you don't know anything about
my business........ or about cows for that matter.

This is a flock of sheep!

"Now give me back my dog".

There are a lot of varients for this joke online. It appears the
original one was for some Yorkshire government. The first time I saw
it, it was the version I posted. Since I live in the US, it makes more
sense referring to the US government. Actually, I could have removed
all partisan references, and just said GOVERNMENT CONSULTANT. They are
all equally bad anyhow .

The best part is all the technology the guy uses..... and They are
sheep....

I first heard this at a farming convention, and it was read out loud.
The whole place was laughing.... I later got a printed copy of it, but
since have seen numerous variations online.

Now what does HHH mean?????

HHH is the Hash House Harriers. Here, we're in the Brisbane West group.
We like to go for marked trail runs and have a few beers and a BBQ after.
Some say we're a group of runners with a drinking problem;
others say we're a group of drinkers with a running problem.

(I posted back to the news group in error. sorry)
