A shepherd is traveling with his large flock in remote hills. He sees a black SUV coming from afar. The SUV pulls up and a man in a suit gets out. He comes up to him and says: if I tell you the exact number of your sheep, will I get one? The shepherd frowns, but then nods. The man goes to his SUV and pulls out a laptop. He retrieves satellite images of the area; uses AI to determine the number of sheep on the pictures and says 10 minutes later: you have 1302 sheep! The shepherd nods again. The man loads an animal into his SUV. Then the shepherd says: if I guess your profession, will I get my animal back? The man in the suit says: okay.
You are a business consultant. says the shepherd.
The man in the suit's jaw drops: how did you guess?
The shepherd says:
That wasn't difficult:
1. You show up here uninvited.
2. You expect to be paid for telling me what I already know and answering questions I didn't ask.
3. You don't have the slightest idea about my job.
And now give me back my dog.
