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 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 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 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 fault."
The one thing i hate about people higher up than myself is that they are the decision makers, (give a yes no answer about things) but when they are needed they dont have time to make the decision.
I saw the same one a couple of days ago, but it as w/ republicans and democrats. The one on the ground was the republican[/quote:bc14f]I currently see no relevance as to the democracts being the one in the ballon because they have done shit all since bush got elected. I think you read that joke the wrong way around..I'm pretty sure of that as well.
