I'm going on vacation for a few weeks so I thought I'd send this now.
     Many of you have probably heard this, or a variation, but I think it's
     funny(and possibly true) enough to warrant repeat.



     ===============================================================
     A man 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 Information Technology" 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 no use to anyone."

     The man below says "you must work in business."
     "I do" 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. You're in the same
     position you were before we met, but now it's my fault."
