>> Once upon a time there was a shepherd looking after his sheep on the
>> side of a deserted road. Suddenly a brand new Porsche screeches to a
>> halt.
>> The driver, a man dressed in an Armani suit, Cerutti shoes, Ray-Ban
>> sunglasses, TAG-Heuer wrist-watch, and a Pierre Cardin tie gets out
>> and asks the shepherd,
>>
>> "If I can tell you how many sheep you have, will you give me one of
>> them?"
>> The shepherd looks at the young man, then looks at the large flock of
>> grazing sheep and replies, "Okay."
>>
>> The young man parks the car, connects his laptop to the mobile-fax,
>> enters a NASA Website, scans the ground using his GPS, opens a
>> database and 60 Excel tables filled with algorithms and pivot tables.
>> He then prints out a 150-page report on his high-tech mini-printer,
>> turns to the shepherd and says, "You have exactly 1,586 sheep."
>>
>> The shepherd cheers, "That's correct, you can have your sheep."
>>
>> The young man takes an animal and puts it in the back of his Porsche.
>> The shepherd looks at him and asks, "If I guess your profession, will
>> you return my animal to me?" The young man answers, "Yes, why not?"
>> The shepherd says, "You are an auditor." "How did you know?" asks the
>> young man.

>> Thirdly, you don't understand anything about my business..."
