BUTCH THE RANCHER A rancher named Butch was overseeing his herd grazing in a remote mountainous pasture in Georgia when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust. The driver, a young man in a Brioni® suit, Gucci® shoes, RayBan® sunglasses and YSL® tie, leaned out the window and said to the cowboy, I love farming, If I can tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf? Butch looks at the man, who obviously is a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, Sure, why not? The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell® notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3® cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop® and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany ... Within seconds, he receives an email on his RAZR V3® that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL® database through an ODBC connected Excel® spreadsheet with email on his RAZR V3® and, after a few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-color, 15-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet® printer, turns to the cowboy and says, You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves. Thats right. Well, I guess you can take one of my flock, says Butch. He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car. Then Butch says to the young man, Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your profession is, will you give me back my animal? The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, Okay, why not? Youre a United States Senator, says Butch. Wow! Thats correct, says the yuppie, but how did you guess that? It was actually quite easy, answered the rancher. You showed up here uninvited; wanting to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of tax payer equipment and labor trying to show me how smart you are. You demonstrated you dont know a thing about working people or how we make a living. You obviously know even less about ranching and livestock because this is a herd of sheep.” “Now give me back my dog.” AND THAT FOLKS SHOULD HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE QUALITY OF THE FOLKS YOU HAVE ELECTED TO OFFICE AND WHY THE UNITED STATES IS IN THE SHAPE IT’S IN!
