Friday Joke

[ColinBarber]

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."

Oh how I wish I could send that to my CEO!

Oh how I wish I could send that to my CEO!

easy - email me his email address and i'll send it!

bit like tech and sales. "if we didn't make it you couldn't sell it" verses "if we didn't sell it you'd have nothing to make" - but sales almost always get paid more than engineers!
