A balloonist gets caught up in a furious storm and is blown way off course. He is forced to land in a field and has no idea where he is at. He sees a
car coming along the road and hails it.
The driver gets out and the balloonist says, "Please! Can you tell me where I am?"
"Yes, of course," says the driver. "You have just landed in your
balloon, and with this wind you have obviously been blown off course. You are in the alfalfa field on Buck Henderson's ranch, 15 miles from Bend. Buck will be haying the field next week. There is a bull in the field. It is behind you and about to attack you."
At that moment, the bull reaches the balloonist and tosses him over the fence.
Luckily, the balloonist is unhurt. He gets up, dusts himself off and says to the driver, "I see you're an appraiser."
"Good grief," says the driver, "you're right! How did you know
that?"
"I employ appraisers," says the balloonist. "The information you
gave me was detailed, precise, and accurate. Most of it was useless, and it arrived far too late to be of any help."
