    A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces
    altitude and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and
    shouts, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised my friend I would meet
    him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

    The man below says, "Yes, you are in a hot air balloon, hovering
    approximately 30 feet above this field. You are between 40 and 42
    degrees N. latitude, and between 58 and 60 degrees W. longitude."

    "You must be an engineer!" says the balloonist.

    "I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

    "Well," says the balloonist, "Everything you told me is technically
    correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the
    fact is, I am still lost."

    The man below says, "You must be a manager!"

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

    "Well," says the engineer, "You don't know where you are, or where you
    are going. You have made a promise, which you have no idea how to keep,
    and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in the
    exact same position you were in before we met, but now it is somehow, my
    fault."

    It is funny but if you come to think of it, in real life it is quite true.
