>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 work in Information Technology" says the balloonist.
>
>"I do" 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 work in business."
>
>"I do" 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."
