A man piloting hot air balloon discovers he’s hopelessly lost.
He descends to lower altitude and sees man on the ground. He lowers the balloon further and shouts:
“Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?”
The man below says, “Yes, you’re in hot air balloon, about 30 feet above this field.”
“You must work in Information Technology,” says the balloonist.

“You’re in the same position you were in before we met, but now it’s my fault.”
