A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces his height and spots a man down below. He lowers the ballon more and shouts, "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?"
The man below says, "Yes, you're in a hot air balloon, hovering thirty 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 told me is technically correct, but it's of no practical use to anyone."
The man below says, "You must be a corporate manager."
"I am," replies the balloonist. "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 have the same problem you had before we met, but now it's my fault."
Thanks for the joke! It's interesting, I've seen several variations of the same basic joke using two different people, including one with a Democrat and a Republican.
Speaking of funny things a little too close to the truth, are you familiar with the movie "Office Space"? If you've ever lived or worked in Cubicleland, you'll see a lot of familiar things in that movie!
