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 be an NCO," says the balloonist.
"I am" replies the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," says the balloonist, "everything
you have told me is technically correct, but it's of no use
to anyone."
The man below says "you must be an Officer."
"I am," 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."
