Since I missed last week, and had trouble thinkning of something to post this week, I thought I'd make ya'll have a good laugh and then share a few pix. :)
A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd on a remote
mountainous pasture in Montana, when suddenly a brand-new 2015 BMW advanced
toward him out of a cloud of dust. The driver, a young man in a Brioni® suit,
Gucci® shoes, RayBan® sunglasses, and 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?"
Bud looks at the man, who is 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 Apple iPhone, and surfs to a NASA page on the
Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite 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 Apple iPad® that the image has been
processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL® database through an
ODBC-connected Excel® spreadsheet with email on his Galaxy S5® and, after a few
minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on a
Hishi-Tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet® printer, turns to the cowboy, and says,
"You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."
"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my
calves," says Bud.
He watches the young man select one of the animals and
looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.
Then Bud 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 Congressman for the U.S. Government,"
says Bud.
"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie,
"but how did you guess that?"
"No guessing required." answered the cowboy.
"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 than me you are;
and you don't know a thing about how working people make a living — or about cows,
for that matter. This is a herd of sheep. Now, give me back my dog!"
We had 2 new baby goats born! They are SO cute and spotted!!
Thought I'd share a few pix of them. :)
Are they not just too cute?!
Stand Firm for Him,
Blessings!
