Read on - a nice one.
A man in a hot air balloon realized that he was lost. He
reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He 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 woman below replied. "You're in a hot air balloon hovering
approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 50 and
51 degrees north latitude and
between 114 and 115 degrees west longitude."
"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist.
"I am," replied the woman. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is
technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your
information. The fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not
been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip."
The woman below responded, "You must be in management."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the woman, "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, you've managed to
make it my fault!!"
