A man flying in a hot air balloon realizes he is lost. He reduces his altitude and spots a man in a field down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts, Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?

The man below says, Yes, youre in a hot air balloon, about 30 feet above this field.



You must be an engineer, says the balloonist.



I am. How did you know?



Everything you told me is technically correct, but its of no use to anyone.



The man below says, You must be in management.



I am. But how did you know?



You dont know where you are, or where youre going, but you expect me to be able to help. Youre in the same position you were before we met, but now its my fault.
