Man walking
along a road in the countryside comes across a shepherd
and a huge flock of sheep. Tells the shepherd, "I
will bet you $100 against one of your sheep that I can
tell you the exact number in this flock." The shepherd
thinks it over; it's a big flock so he takes the bet.
"973," says the man. The shepherd is astonished,
because that is exactly right.
He Says "OK, I'm a man of my word, take an animal." The
man picks one up and begins to walk away.
"Wait," cries the shepherd, "Let me have
a chance to get even. Double or nothing that I can guess
your exact occupation." Man says sure. "You are
an economist for a government think tank," says the
shepherd.
"Amazing!" responds the man, "You are
exactly right! But tell me, how did you deduce that?"
"Well," says the shepherd, "put down
my dog and I will tell you." |
