> A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude<BR>
> and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted,<BR>
> "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an
hour<BR>
> ago, but I don't know where I am."<BR>
><BR>
> The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering<BR>
approximately<BR>
> 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude<BR>
> and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."<BR>
><BR>
> "You must be a teacher," said the balloonist.<BR>
><BR>
> "I am," replied the woman, "How did you know?"<BR>
><BR>
> "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is,<BR>
> technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information,<BR>
and<BR>
> the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all.
If<BR>
> anything, you've delayed my trip."<BR>
><BR>
> The woman below responded, "You must be a School Administrator."<BR>
><BR>
> "I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"<BR>
><BR>
> "Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where
you're<BR>
> going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air.<BR>
> You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect<BR>
people<BR>

> in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow,<BR>
