A man in a hot air balloon realised he was lost. He reduced altitude and
spotted a man 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 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 work in Quality Control," said the balloonist.
"I do," replied the man, "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically
correct, but I've no idea what you're talking about and the fact is I'm
still lost. Frankly, you've been no help at all. If anything, you've
just delayed my trip and wasted my time."
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 load 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***ing fault."
