A man in a hot air balloon 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 woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon
hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground.
You're 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 woman, "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 woman below responded,
"You must be in Management."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
