A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman tending her garden. He shouted down, "Excuse me, I promised to meet a friend an hour ago but I don't know where I am." She replied, "You're in a hot air balloon about 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and 59 and 60 degrees west longitude." The balloonist says, "You must be an accountant." "Yes how did you know?" she replied. He said, "Well, everything you've told me is technically correct but I have no idea how to use that information and the fact remains that I'm still lost. You've just wasted my time."

The woman looks up and says, "You must be in management." "Yes how did you know that?"

She responded, "Because you don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are due to a lot of hot air.

You made a promise you can't keep and expect those beneath you to solve your problem.

You're in exactly the same position you were before we met but somehow it's now my fault."
👏👏👏

Bit of a laugh😜

A woman in a hot air balloon realised she was lost. She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She 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 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 between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude".

"You must be a technician." said the balloonist.

“I am" replied the man "how did you know?"

“Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you have 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 with your talk."

The man below responded, "You must be in management".

“I am" replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

“Well," said the man "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 # fault!!!”
