Subject: The Balloonist
A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes that he is lost. He reduces altitude and spots a man down below on the ground. He lowers the balloon further and shouts: "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?" The man below says: "Yes, you're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field." "You must work in Information Technology" says the balloonist. "I do" replies the man. "How did you know?" "Well" says the balloonist, Everything you have told me is technically correct, but it's of no use whatsoever."
The man below reflects for a moment, and then says: "You must be in management." "I am" replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well", says the man, "You don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position you were in before we met, but now it's MY fault."
