A shepherd was herding his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a
brand-new BMW advanced out of the dust cloud towards him. The driver, a
young man in a Broni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie,
leaned out the window and asked the shepherd, "If I tell you exactly how
many sheep you have in your flock, will you give me one?"

The shepherd looked at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looked at his
peacefully-grazing flock and calmly answered, "Sure."

The yuppie parked his car, whipped out his IBM ThinkPad and connected it to
a cell phone, then he surfed to a NASA page on the Internet where he called
up a GPS satellite navigation system, scanned the area, and then opened up a
database and an Excel spreadsheet with complex formulas. He sent an email on
his blackberry and, after a few minutes, received a response. Finally, he
prints out a 150 page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized printer then turns
to the shepherd and says, "You have exactly 1,586 sheep".

That is correct, take one of the sheep" said the shepherd.

He watches the young man select one of the animals and bundle it into his
car. Then the shepherd says: "Will you give it back to me if I can tell you
exactly what your business is?"

OK, why not," answered the young man.

Clearly, you are an investment banker" said the shepherd.

That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"

No guessing required," answered the shepherd. "You turned up here, although
nobody called you. You want to get paid for an answer I already know, to a
question I never asked, and you don't know anything about my business.

Now give me back my dog."

"he he he he he"

Question: "What's the collective noun for bankers?"

Note: The collective noun is like a flock (of sheep), a murder (of crows), a school (of fish), etc.
