A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced his
altitude and spotted a passer-by 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 passer-by below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering
approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 45
degrees north latitude and between 9 and 60 degrees west longitude."
"You must be in Information Technology," said the balloonist.
"I am," was the replied from the passer-by, "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the 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 passer-by responded, "You must be in Management."
"I am!" replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well", said the passer-by, "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've 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."
