особенно в самом конце :)

A man in a hot air balloon realizes he is lost. He reduces altitude and
spots a woman below. He descends a bit more and shouts, "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 replies, "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 an engineer," says the balloonist. "I am,"
replies the woman. "How did you know?" "Well," answers 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 responds, "You must
be in management." "I am," replies the balloonist, "but how did you
know?" "Well," says 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 which you have 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."
