IJMC The Lost Balloonist

                     IJMC - The Lost Balloonist

Tonight there will be four IJMC's...it finishes out last month in the 
archives and then I won't forget to do a few things tomorrow night. At 
least that's the plan...kinda cute though, in the archives this post will 
appear as July 28's post. Never said they were accurate and they don't 
really need to be anyway.                                           -dave






  A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he
  is lost. He reduces altitude and spots a man down
  below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts:
 
  "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?" The man
  below says: "yes you're in a hot air balloon,
  hovering 30 feet above this field."
 
  "You must work in Engineering" says the balloonist.
 
  "I do" replies the man. "How did you know." "Well"
  says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is
  technically correct, but it's of no use to me."
 
  The man below says "you must work in management."
 
  "I do" replies the balloonist, "but how did you
  know?" "Well", says the man, "you don't know where
  you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to
  be able to help. You're in the same position you
  were before we met, but now it's my fault."
