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."

he 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 altitude 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."
