are u a management consultant?

it was a chill evening in a green pasture land with sky in its best blue colour. a shepherd was engaged in taking care of his flock of goats with his dog.

as, an unusual happening, a silver shining stylish BMW Z4 came in a rash mode and skidded near him. he was amazed when it was parked near him. the door opened and a young charming man with full fledged suit approached him. the conversation begun...

BMW guy: Hey shepherd, if i say u the number of goats in the flock without counting, will you give me one goat as a compliment?

The shepherd with a bit of stun agreed to it.

The guy took his laptop, connected a GPRS device to it, attained a satellite link, located the flock and the results were displayed in a minute.

The shepherd had no way than giving away a goat. He said, "Ok Sir, you can take any goat from the flock as you wish"

The young man (with a winning whistle and smile) took one and was about to start off from that place. The shepherd stopped him and asked

"You are a stranger to this place...If I say whom you are, Will you give back my goat?"

The young man agreed with surprise.

Shepherd: You are a Management Consultant
BMW guy: (with an open mouth) how do you know that?

Shepherd: It’s very simple. I observed two things.

1. You gave me information which I already knew in a different format.
2. You took my dog instead of goat.

BMW guy: @@~~@@
