A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She
reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted:
"'Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour
ago but I don't know where I am". The man below replied "You're in a
hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between
40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west
longitude".
"You must be a technician." said the
balloonist. "I am" replied the man "how did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you have told me is
probably technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information
and the fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If
anything, you've delayed my trip with your talk."
The man below responded, "You must be in
management". "I am" replied the balloonist, "but how did
you know?" "Well," said the man "you don't know where you
are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large
quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and
you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in
exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my
f*cking fault!
