A consultant is someone who in exchange for your watch will tell you the time

You might have to ask if the watch happens to be in binary (http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/ledbinarywatch.jpg). In that case, the consultant may be worth it!
Laugh, and them told them how much money they wasted telling you that joke.
Actually, the best definition is still on this page:

My favourite: a consultant is someone who, at great expense, shows you the way forward in difficult times by building a tunnel. Just when you see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel, he builds more tunnel.
