A woman in a hot air balloon realized that she is lost. She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted, “Excuse me, Sir. Can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”

A man 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 59 and 60 degrees west latitude.

“You must be an engineer”, said the lady balloonist.
“I am”, replied the man. “How did you know?”

“Well”, answered the lady from the balloon, “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’re not able to help me at all. You’ve delay my trip even more.”

The engineer below responsed, ” You must be in the top management.”
“I am”, replied the lady balloonist, “but how did u know?”

“Well”, said the engineer, “You don’t know where you are, or where you’re going. You made a promise, which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems.”
