A man in a hot air ballon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. 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 women below replied:"You're in a hot air ballon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degree north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longtitude."

"You must be an engineer.", said the balloonist.

"I am, replied the women, "How did you know?"

"Well, "answered tha balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip."

The woman responded:"You must be in Management."

"I am,"said the man, "but how did you know it?"

"Well, said the woman,"you don't know where you are or where you're 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."
