>A bloke is driving around in his Porsche in the English countryside. He
>stops outside a field full of sheep, walks up to the shepherd and says,
>"I've got an offer. I'll guess how many sheep you've got in this field,
>and if I guess right, I get to take a sheep with me. If I guess wrong,
>you get my car."
>
>The shepherd thinks he's on to a sure thing and agrees.
>
>"137" says the driver.
>
>"Damn me, you're right," says the shepherd and dutifully hands over a
>sheep.
>
>The man walks away, stuffs the sheep in his car and is about to drive
>away when the shepherd knocks on his window. "I've got a proposal for
>you." says the shepherd. "If I can guess what you do for a living, I
>get to take your car. If I'm wrong, you can have all my sheep."
>
>"Done," says the driver
>
>"You're a consultant," says the shepherd.
>
>"Bloody hell! How did you guess?"
>
>"Easy. You come in here uninvited, you tell me what I already know, and
>then you charge me for it."
