A man walking along a country lane came across a shepherd and his huge flock of sheep. Stopping to rest, he told the shepherd, “I’ll bet you $100 against one of your sheep that I can tell you the exact number in your flock.”

The shepherd thought it over. It was a big flock, so he took the bet.

The man looked around and answered, “869.” The shepherd was astonished; he was exactly right.

The shepherd said, “Okay, I’m a man of my word, take an animal.” The man picked one up and started to walk away.

“Wait,” cried the shepherd, “let me have a chance to get even. Double or nothing, I can guess your exact occupation.” The man agreed. “You’re a government accountant,” said the shepherd.

“Amazing!” responded the man. “Exactly right! How did you deduce that?”

“Well,” said the shepherd, “Put down my dog and I’ll tell you.”
