Hot air balloon ride

[steved]

A man in a hot air balloon was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He gradually descended further and shouted out "Excuse me, can you help me. I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I realise that I don't know where I am."

The woman below relied, "You are in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. Your position is between 40 and 41degrees south latitude and between 123 and 124 degrees east longitude".

"You must be an engineer", 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 have no idea what it means or how to use the information and am still completely lost. Frankly, you have not been of any help to me at all ".

The woman below responded, "you must be in management."

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

"Well" said the woman, "you have no idea where you are or which way to go. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You have made a promise which you have no idea how to keep and you expect people below you to solve your problems for you. The fact is that you are exactly in the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's all my fault".

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 an engineer," 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."

Hey I tried, not my fault I couldnt count higher than how many fingers I gotted.

Mr Carnalee got a bit upset and red repped me because he got red repped from someone. Who red repped him, come on, own up...

Wasn't me.....
but it is still funny, kinda like the blind snake and the blind rabbit joke.


A pessimist says the glass is half empty
An optimist says the glass is half full
An engineer says the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
