A man in a hot air balloon, realising he was lost, reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended further and shouted to the lady, '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 in IT,' said the balloonist.

'Actually I am,' replied the woman, 'How did you know?'

'Well,' answered the balloonist, 'everything you have 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 f****** fault.

Cheers!
Vim

Oh Vim.. when I first started reading this, and realized it was a joke, I was kind of disappointed that this wasn't a post about your soaring through the air in a hot-air balloon, something I would love to do at least once... but this was such a good joke, that now I'm laughing

Good one, and my fiancé will be getting a copy of this.. he works as the IT support for several JH/SH schools so believe me, he'll relate to this one

Kel,
Sorry to disappoint! BUT, let's get our (imaginary) diaries out and set a date for OUR hot air balloon trip! Me too! I have ALWAYS wanted to do that and nearly did for my 50th birthday but other events took over. Who knows it might happen yet!
Cheers,
Vim
