An Air Balloonist

• A man flying in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. Reduce altitude, he spotted a man on the ground and descended to shouting range.

• “Excuse me,” he shouted, “Can you help me? I’m lost and I don’t know where I am”

• The man below responded: “Yes. You are in a hot air balloon, hovering approximately 30 feet above the center of this field.”

• “You must be an IT worker,” responded the balloonist.

• “I am,” the man replied. “How did you know?”

An Air Balloonist

• “Well,” said the balloonist,”what you’ve told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information. I am still lost.” ………………..

• …………….After hearing the balloonist’s explanations the IT worker responded, “Then you must be a manager!”

• “That I am” replied the balloonist, “but how did you know?”…………

• “Well,” said the IT worker, “you don’t know where you are, or where you’re going. You have a problem and expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in the exact same position you were before we met, but now it is somehow my fault.”

MBA With An Engineer

• A MBA and an Engineer go on a camping trip, set up their tent, and fell asleep.

• Some hours later, the Engineer wakes his MBA friend. " Look up at the sky and tell me what you see."

• The MBA replies, "I see millions of stars."

• The Engineer asks "What does that tell you?"

• The MBA ponders for a minute :

MBA With An Engineer

• Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.

• Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo.

• Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three.

• Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant.

• Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.

• What does it tell you? Asked the MBA

• The Engineer friend is silent for a moment, then speaks.

• "Practically...Someone has stolen our tent".
