Please be patient - some cartoons take a while to load.
So here's a joke while you wait.

The young man parked his car, whipped out his notebook computer, connected it to a cell phone, surfed to a NASA page on the Internet where he called up a GPS satellite navigation system, scanned the area, then opened up a database and some Excel spreadsheets with complex formulas. He finally printed out a 150-page report on his hi-tech miniaturized printer, turned around to our farmer and said, "You have here exactly 1,586 sheep!"

"Amazing! That's correct! Like I agreed, you can take one of my sheep," said the farmer. He then watched the young guy make a selection and bundle it into his Cherokee. When he was finished the farmer said, "If I can tell you exactly where you're from, who you work for and what you do, will you give me my sheep back?"

"Okay, why not," answered the young man. "You're from Wellington and you're working for a Government Dept - either Statistics or Treasury," said the farmer.

"That's correct," said the young man. "How did you guess that?" "Easy", answered the farmer. "Nobody called you, but you showed up here anyway. You wanted to be paid for the solution to a question I already knew the answer to. And, you don't know beans about my business because you just took my dog."
