Counting Sheep
A man walking along a road in the countryside comes across a
shepherd and a huge flock of sheep. He 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 one of them." The man picks
one up and begins to walk away.
"Wait," yells the shepherd, "Let me have a chance to get
even. Double or nothing that I can guess your exact
occupation." The 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."
