A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces
height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts:
"Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?"
The man below says: "Yes, you're in
a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field."
You must be an
engineer" says the balloonist.
"I am" replies the man. "How did you
know."
"Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is
technically correct, but it's no use to anyone."
The man below says "you
must be in management."
"I am" replies the balloonist, "but how did you
know?"
"Well," says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where
you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position
you were before we met, but now it's my fault." |
