Joke of the Year...

Sorry I'm still behind in posting. Things are just still so busy after the wedding.

I know this isn't so good as a real post. However, this is the funniest forward I've received in well over a year. Heck, maybe several years. Thanks to Cave for sending me this one.

Austin

A cowboy was herding his cows in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand new BMW appeared out of no where and drove up to him.

The driver, young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses, and a YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked 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 looked at the man, obviously a Yuppie, then looked at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answered "Sure, why not?"

The Yuppie parked his car, whipped out his DELL NOTEBOOK computer, connected it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, surfed to a NASA page on the Internet, where called up a GPS satellite navigation system to get an exact fix on
his location which he then fed to another NASA Satellite that scanned the area in an ultra-high resolution photo. He then opened the digital photo in ADOBE PHOTO SHOP and exported it to an imaging processing facility in Hamburg, Germany. Within seconds, he received an email on his PALM PILOT that the image had been processed and the data stored. He hen accessed a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected EXCEL spreadsheet with Email on his a BLACKBERRY and, after a few minutes, received a response. He then printed out a full-color, 150 page report on his high-tech miniaturized HP LASERJET printer and turned to the cowboy and said "You have 1,586 cows and calves."

The Cowboy responded that the figure was correct, so he could take one of the calves. The Cowboy watched as the yuppie selected one of the animals, acting amused as he loaded it into his trunk.

The Cowboy then said to the yuppie, " If I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"

The Yuppie thought for a minute and replied "Okay, why not?"

"You are a United States Congressman", he retorted.

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

"It's simple "replied the Cowboy, "No guessing involved."

"You showed up here even though nobody called you. You wanted to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question that I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a damn thing about cows......!

Now give me back my dog.
