She
saw a farmer unloading a truckload of sheep for the artificial
heart program. "You know, I'm a medical student." The
farmer just
nodded. "I'm quite smart." The farmer smiled.
"I'm sure you are."
"Let me prove it." said Debbie. "Are they paying
you for these sheep
by the pound?"
The
farmer said, "Yes, they've budgeted three thousand bucks.
We
have to weigh them to see how many I leave here."
"Well, I'll bet you
a hundred bucks I can calculate how many sheep that is, in my
head."
The
farmer leaned back and pursed his lips. "I don't have a
hundred on
me. But I'll bet a sheep against your hundred." Debbie
studied the flock
as it milled around in the pen. "Thirty-seven! It will take
37 sheep." she said.
Sure
enough, when the weighing was complete, the medical school had
purchased 37 sheep. "Well, a bet's a bet." said the
farmer. "Go pick a
sheep from the rest of the flock."
Debbie
ran into the flock and grabbed a fluffy black and white one.
Holding it with both arms, she walked to her car. She heard the
farmer
call after her. "Hey, we farmers are pretty smart
too."
"I'm
sure you are." said Debbie.
"Let me prove it," the farmer asked. "If I can
calculate the original color
of your hair, can I have my dog back?"
