Consultants


One day a shepherd was looking after his sheep on the edge of a deserted road. Suddenly a brand new Jeep Cherokee screeches to a halt next to him. The driver, a young man dresses in Brioni 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 looks at the sheep which graze and says:" All right !!!" The young man parks the car, connects the notebook and the mobile, enters a NASA site, scans the ground using his GPS, opens a database and 60 Excel tables filled with algorithms, then prints a 150 pages report on his high tech mini printer. He then turns to the shepherd and says: "You have exactly 1586 sheep here" The shepherd answers: "That's correct, you can have your sheep." The young man takes the sheep and puts it in the back of his Jeep. Just as he is about to leave, the shepherd looks at him and asks: If I guess your profession will you return my sheep to me?" The young man answers: "Yes, why not?" The shepherd says: "You are an Arthur Andersen consultant!" " How did you know that?" asks the young man. The shepherd answers: "Very simple. First, you come here without being called. Second, you charge me a sheep to tell me something I already know. Third, you do not understand anything about what I do, because you took my dog!"
