> 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 Management.
>
> "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."
