Old Grizzly...
The Shepherd.

Once upon a time there was a shepherd looking after his sheep on the
side of a deserted road in the Highlands. Suddenly, a brand new bright
red Porsche 911 appears and screeches to a halt beside him.. The
driver, a woman wearing a Chanel suit, Ray Bans and a Cartier watch,
steps out and asks the shepherd, "If I can guess how many sheep you have
can I keep one?"

The shepherd looks at the large flock and says "Okay". The woman
connects a laptop to the mobile phone fax, enters the NASA website,
scans the field using GPS, opens a database linked to 60 Excel files
with logarithms and pivot tables, then prints out a 150 page report on a

How does any of this enable her to count the sheep?

If it does so enable her (a big if) then she is not guessing.

She studies the report and says to the shepherd, "You have exactly 1,586
sheep."

The shepherd replies "That's correct. You can have the pick of my
flock."

The woman packs away her equipment, looks at the flock and puts an
animal in the boot of her porsche.

As she is about to leave the shepherd says "If I can guess your
profession will you return the animal to me?"

The woman thinks for a moment, then agrees.

The Shepherd says " You are an NHS manager."

"Correct," responds the woman, "but how did you know?"

Ooooh, many a true word spoken in jest!! :D


The shepherd replies, "Simple, first you came without being invited.
Second, you wasted a lot of the time telling me something I new already.
Third, you don't understand anything about the work I do, but interfere
anyway. Now can I have my dog back?"

I kind of get the joke but have some questions.
Does NHS mean the UK National Health Service?

Anita...
Yes

Do they visit without being invited? Why?

Anita...
Normally if they have concerns about ones health - and a doctor has
contacted them and asked them to call.

How do they get involved in the work people do?

Anita...
Never knew they did. Unless they are trying to prove you are fit for
work when you are not .

~~seadancer~~...
Thanks, Anita.
