You must be in IT


A man in a hot air balloon, realizing 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 fault."
