I like this joke alot mainly due to the fact I work in IT and it reminds me what it’s like to work where I doA man in a hot air balloon realised 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.
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’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.
“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.”

“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 f******g fault.”
