  • The Politician and the Rancher

    A friend of mine posted this on FB and it just cracked me up, so I thought I would share.

    A Montana cowboy was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks 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 answers, "Sure, why not?" The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his smartphone 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. He 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 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 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 Laser Jet printer…then 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 the cowboy. 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 cowboy 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 the cowboy. "Wow…that's right!! But how did you guess THAT? "No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you… then you want to get paid for giving me an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter you are than me… and you don't know a thing about cows…this is a herd of sheep." "Now…give me back my dog…
    Take nothing for granted. Life can change irrevocably in a heartbeat.

    I will not feed the troll-well, I will try.

              Hahahahaha, we had one of those types of civil serpents come out to the base and while on the obligatory tour of the bison herd, he asks, "When did the Army start growing its own cattle to feed the troops?" I asked the driver to circle round again because his boss must have been asleep when I gave him the blurb on the bison. When we got to the POW watchtower, I made sure to emphasize that we no longer actually have POWs at the base... last one left in 1946. I gave up when he asked why all the roads where named after foreign sounding places. (most bases names their roadways after WWI and WWII battles, Generals and Victory Cross recepients.)

              Kind a makes ya wonder how a person with the attention span of a gnat sits through committee meetings when they are drafting laws...LOL
              A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. — Robert A. Heinlein
