Fred, you mean to say the Rolex I bought at Divisoria Market is fake

A man in a hot air balloon realises he is lost, so reduces altitude and spots a woman below. He

descends more and shouts to the woman, "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 Information Technology," 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!"
