This would’nt be for the jokes section as it applies to techies in the Big 5 consulting firms.
Once upon a time, there was a shepherd looking after his sheep on the edge
of a deserted road. Suddenly, a brand new Jeep Cherokee screeched to a halt
next to him. The driver, a young man dressed in an Armani suit, Cerrutti
shoes, Ray-Ban glasses, and a YSL tie, gets out and asks the shepherd: “If I
guess how many sheep you have, will you give me one of them?” The shepherd
looks at the young man, then at the grazing flock, and says: “All right!”
The young man parks the car, connects his notebook and mobile phone, enters
a NASA site, scans the ground using his GPS, opens a database and 60 Excel
tables filled with algorithms, then prints a 150-page report with his
high-tech mini-printer. He then turns to the shepherd and says: “You have
exactly 1,586 sheep here.” The shepherd replies: “Yes, that’s correct, you
may have your sheep.” The young man takes a sheep and puts it in the back of
his Jeep. The shepherd looks at him and asks: “If I guess your profession,
will you return my sheep?” The young man answer: “Yes, why not?” The
shepherd says: “You are an Arthur Andersen Consultant!” “However did you
know?” asks the young man. “Very simple,” replied the shepherd, “first, you
came here without being called. Second, you charge me a sheep to tell me
something I already knew. Third, you do not understand anything about what
I do, because you took my dog!”
Sooooooooo true
