A joke

A scientist decided to take a break and go camping on Dartmoor. Having set up camp, he realised he hadn't brought any food with him. After going for a short walk, he spotted a shepheard tending his flock. "I say my good man" he said to the shepheard, "are you a sporting man?" The shepheard replied, "I've been known to have a bit of a gamble, what did you have in mind?" The scientist said "I can tell you exactly how many sheep you have, and if I'm correct, I can take one for my dinner". The shepheard scratched his head for a moment and said "well I doubt you could do that, it took me all morning to count them. But yes okay if you can do that I reckon it's worth a sheep". So the scientist held up a fore finger and thumb of each hand to make a frame, took a slide rule out of his pocket and said "you have exactly 392 sheep". The shepheard said "well I'm gob smacked, how in the world did you work that out?" The scientist said "we scientists have our ways that you simple country folk wouldn't understand". So he picked up his prize and headed back to his camp. He hadn't got very far when the sheheard caught him up saying "Here how about you giving me a chance to win back my animal?" The scientist said "very well I am after all a sporting man, what did you have in mind?" The shepheard said "I reckon I can tell you what sort of science you do". So the scientist scratched his head for a while and said "well I very much doubt that, but yes alright you have yourself a wager". The shepheard said "I reckon you're one of them molecular biologists". The scientist said "good god, how on earth did you know that?" The shepheard said "we simple country folk have our ways that you scientists wouldn't understand. Now put my dog down before he bites your feckin hand off".

Talking about counting, there's the story about two guys riding on a train that passes through a field with grazing cattle. One guy sez that there are 1423 cattle out there. In amazement the other guy sez "Wow, how on earth were you able to do that and so fast?" The answer: "simple, I just count all the legs and divide by four!"
