Engineer and Manager (A Dilbertisque Joke)
==========================================

So, this guy is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He
reduces height 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 absolutely no use to anyone!"

The man below says, "You must be a manager!"

"I am," 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. And, you're in exactly the same
position you were in before we met, but now it's my fault!"
