My father-in-law, a consultant for a large software manufacturer, has 
expanded on this definition.

"A consultant," he says, "is someone who takes the watch off your wrist, 
tells you the time, charges you $100, and then keeps the watch."

I, myself, like how despair.com puts it:  "Consulting: if you're not part 
of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem."
