    My first thread but got it a bit wrong, hope you like this one


    A man in a hot air balloon realised 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 in Information Technology," said the balloonist.

    "I am," replied the woman, "how did you know?"

    "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is probably
    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?"

    "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'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
    f**king fault."
