A shepherd was herding his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a
brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a
young man in a Prada suit, Gucci shoes, Dior sunglasses and D+G tie,
leans out the window and asks the shepherd, 'If I tell you exactly how
many sheep you have in your flock, will you give me one?'
 
The shepherd looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his
peacefully grazing flock and calmly answers: 'Sure. Why not?'
 
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects
it to his Vodafone cell phone, 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 e-mail on his Palm Pilot that the image has been
processed and the data stored.
 
He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel
spreadsheet with hundreds of complex formulae.
 
He uploads all of this data via an email on his Blackberry and, after a
few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-colour,
150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturised HP laserJet printer, turns
to the shepherd and says: 'You have exactly 1,586 sheep'.
 
'That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my sheep,' says the
shepherd.
 
He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the boot of his car.
 
Then the shepherd says to the young man 'Hey, if I can tell you exactly
what your business is, will you give me back my sheep?'
 
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says: 'Okay, why
not?'
 
'You're a consultant' says the shepherd.
 
'Wow! That's correct,' says the yuppie. 'But how did you guess that?'
 
'No guessing required,' answers the shepherd.
 
'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, and you know f**k-all about my business. Now give me back my dog.'

And for Blunt even knowing the joke has been posted twice before!
I haven't even read GFK's last few jokes as he posted about 6 of them.
It's still a good joke though.

TCS got me in. In my previous clan there wasn't any tactical gaming, only fraghunting and anyone can do that. As the community is now getting pretty diverse with several kinds of games but with the same attitude, more people join.
I'm sometimes a bit to competetive though and expect to much of the newer people to TCS. Soz 4 that.

To be fair, I kind of expected it might have been posted before and that someone would comment. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this time around it was Blunt.
 
Well done Old Bean, have a mince pie. :winkiss:
