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 an engineer, " said the balloonist. " I am " , replied the man. * * " 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. ly, you've not been much help at all. If ** **anything, you've delayed my trip even more. " * *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?!! " * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
