A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and
spotted a woman below in the garden of a pub.
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 woman below replied, "You are in a hot air balloon hovering
approximately 10 metres above the ground. You are 40.41 degrees north
latitude and 59.65 degrees west longitude."
"You must be a physicist," said the balloonist.
"I am," replied the woman. "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 woman below responded, "You must be in management."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the woman, "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 have detailed information you can't act on, 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!"
