>A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost.  He reduced altitude and 
>spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "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 are in a hot air balloon hovering 
>approximately 30 feet above the ground.  You are between 40 and 41 degrees 
>north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."
>
>"You must be a teacher," 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 have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact 
>is I am still lost.  Frankly, you've not been much help so far."
>
>The woman below responded, "You must be an administrator."
>
>"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
>
>"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you are 
>going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. 
>You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect 
>someone else to solve your problem.  The fact is you are in exactly the 
>same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my 
>fault!!!"
