When I was working for a global organization, I used to do consulting with our operations in different countries. At one time, I heard a person in a country tell me that 'the seagulls are coming; the seagulls are coming', while referring to our top leadership paying a visit to that country.
This person clarified. 'Yes, these guys are like seagulls; they fly in uninvited; take our food; make a helluva noise while they are here for a short time; and as they fly out, they deposit their food refuse all over for us to clean up!"
Anyways, the following is similar:
"A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced altitude and spotted a man below.[h=5]
She 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 man 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 an engineer," said the balloonist. "I am", replied the man.
"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 even more."
The man below responded, "You must be in management."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "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?!!""[/h]
