Good One

undisclosed-recipients:;

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 please help me? I promised a friend I'd meet him an hour ago, but I

don't know where I am."

The woman replied, "You are in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30

feet above ground. You are between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and

between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."

"You must be a teacher," 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'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help so far."

The woman below responded, "You must be an administrator."

"I am" replied the balloonist "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 made

a promise that you have no idea how to keep and you expect someone else to

solve your problem. The fact is, you are in exactly the same position you

were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."
