Man
walking along a road in the countryside comes across a shepherd and a huge
flock of sheep. 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. Says
"OK, I'm a man of my word, take an animal." Man picks one up and
begins to walk away.
"Wait,"
cries the shepherd, "Let me have a chance to get even. Double or nothing
that I can guess your exact occupation." 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."
