A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He spots someone below, lowers the balloon 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 be a programmer," says the balloonist.
"Yes I am," replies the man. "How did you know?"
"Everything you have told me is technically correct," says the balloonist "but it's of no use to anyone."
The programmer below says, "You must be in upper management in some business."
"I am, but how did you know?" said the man in the balloon.
"Well", says the programmer, "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."
