>The Balloonist
>
>A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced altitude
>and spotted a man below. She 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 are in a hot air balloon hovering
>approximately 30 feet above the ground. You are between 40 and 41 degrees
>north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."
>
>"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist.
>
>"I am," replied the man, "How did you know?"
>
>"Well," answered the balloonist,"everything you told me is, technically
>correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact
>is I am still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help so far."
>
>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 are
>going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot
>air. You made a promise which you have 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 fault."
