This bloke was flying along in his hot air balloon, when he began to realise that he was completely lost.

He reduced his altitude and had a scout round for people below. He spotted a woman out walking her dog, and so descended a bit more so he could shout to her:

“Excuse me!", he yelled, "Can you help me? I promised a friend that I would meet him about an hour ago, but I haven't the faintest idea where I am.”

“You are in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground.", the woman replied. "You are between 40 and 41 degrees North and between 59 and 60 degrees West.”

“You must be an engineer,” said the bloke in the balloon.

“Why, yes I am,” replied the woman, "But how did you know?”

“Well,” answered 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 completely lost. To be perfectly frank, you've not been much help so far.”

To which the woman below responded, “In that case, you must be in Management.”
“That's true,” replied our bloke, “but how did you know that?”

“Well let's see ... ” said the woman, "You don't know where you are or where you are going. You have risen to where you are thanks mainly to a large quantity of hot air. You have made a promise which you have no idea how to keep. You expect people beneath you to solve your problems for you. In fact, you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now - somehow - it's all my fault!”
