A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted: "'Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am". The man below replied "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude".
"You must be a technician." said the balloonist. "I am" replied the man "how did you know?" "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you have told me is probably technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information and the fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip with your talk."
The man below responded, "You must be in management". "I am" replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well," said the man "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fucking fault!

You must be in sanitation.

I think my aunt forwarded me this email in 1992.

Is that woman in the photo a Vulcan?
Salanari
Is that a Vulcan? Am I the only one seeing a Vulcan here?
WarrenHardin
He may be a technician but he is a poor one. That location is in the Atlantic Ocean
djsdkdjsk
and no one really has a map with longitude or latitude or uses them
Falkh12
what do you think why she was lost? wherever she's looking, it's all water...
ffilm
My first thought was, "He must be in a boat."
JoshuaDanielMartin
Well done
Karumaki
Not to mention that such coordinates cover an area sized about 85 × 112 km (53 × 70 mi).
samsonguy920
He's approximately technically correct
MisterLemons
The best kind of correct.
sirkewlbeans
There is a 111km distance between 59-60 degrees longitude. His information was almost useless.

I thought this was the story from the Amanda Bynes Show xD

I expected to find out where in the world Carmen Sandiego was. I'm slightly disappointed.

Apparently, she's in a balloon

She's approximately 30 feet above the ground, between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.

40ºN by 60ºW is in the middle of the Atlantic (due east of Philly, due north of Bermuda). That balloonist's appointment is classified.

Which is why I have my employees identify the problem AND the solution &make no promises to reach said solution, but offer all resources.
quintusfontane
At first glance, I thought she was a Vulcan. I may or may not have watched a lot of Trek lately...
morgran
Or, just maybe, their both dicks.

Does anyone remember the Amanda Show skit with the girl in the air balloon
WillTradeSkiingLessonsForNudes
Moody's Point!!!
ImgurIsOutOfUsernames
A fair retelling of an old joke. Narrative needs improvement. At no point did she make any promise, so that part of the reply doesn't fit.
SkeltonCensusOfficer
Wouldn't it have just been easier to tell her where she was?
movethebongos
He did.
Raecracy123abc
This is a shitty version of a shitty joke I tell to the IT people I work with.
Raecracy123abc
They like me because of it, now they'll think I'm just telling a shitter version of a shit joke found on shit (but beloved) site. I'm sad.
radicaleb
That joke is so old it has Noah's footprints on it.
Garouleloup
I've heard this joke in other languages as well just with different actors.That's another level of repost for me.

I remember my grandma telling me this joke while I was sitting on shag carpet watching the dukes of hazard.
goochtickler
Think I first read this joke in readers digest about 25 years ago. It was old then too.
Ruffleduk
Wow readers digest! that's the first time i have remembered them for years!
Jackospade
If I haven't heard it, it's new to me!

But only his footprints, for that is where he carried you.
DonnaNobleInTheLibrary
Also, there's absolutely no need to tell it with a woman in the balloon.

Now now, it could only POSSIBLY be as old as the advent of flight.

bamcockseverywhere
Balloon flight, specifically - let's not pretend this joke is any fresher than the Articles of Confederacy.
WayneVan1972
Articles of Confederation. You are thinking of that other, "Recent Unpleasantness."
NotTheSharpestSpoonInTheDrawer
She didn't say it was his fault, just that he was unhelpful
djsdkdjsk
and he assumed that he had a map with longitude and latitude which basically no one uses
Ryanator50
if you're in a hot air balloon, you better have a fucking map
HiddenSanity
I mean, I'd assume someone using a hot air balloon for travel understands Lat/Long.
jadespider
Well...anyone with GPS or navigating the world by air or sea...
CassiusPolybius
If she had a GPS, she'd know where she was.
YeahWellAboutThat
Only if she also had said map with long/lat, because otherwise GPS gives the same info as the technician in the joke: a bunch of coordinates

this does sound like management. what this manager needs is a directional consultant, that's who translates what techs say to management.

In fairness any dick that gave someone who said they were lost latitude and longitude coordinates is a smug ass who knows what they're doing
DannyDoggo
Must be an old ex GeekSquad tech support guy.
kerBamf
I would hope someone alone in a hot air balloon knows what latitude and longitude means.
salsasoul
True

It's pretty fun to learn how to read maps, also kinda easy.
AdvonKoulthar
Well there aren't many landmarks in the ocean
samsonguy920
Well, there are a lot of landmarks in the ocean. Lots of geologic formations and the like. There aren't a lot of landmarks on the ocean.
GerhardRammelhausen
In times of smartphone it might be better than most things, only if you give them time to type it in their phone though
feor1300
If you've got a smartphone just turn on your damned GPS. :P
GerhardRammelhausen
Ooh shut up with your darned logic. GPS uses way to much battery
SteevyT
32%, GPS has been on all day. Also, my phone has been searching for a signal for roughly 4-6 hours today.
djsdkdjsk
well the man that said the latitude and longitude is kinda of a ass because people don't memorize all degrees and he could've said the town
RealApu
Or she can use google map.
HiddenSanity
Anyone flying should know Lat/Long... although the tech gave bad info, that spot is in the Atlantic ocean.
djsdkdjsk
i mean i would much rather use a map with roads and towns and directions instead of longitude and latitude
HiddenSanity
Do you often just fly along roads, then?
djsdkdjsk
you don't know my life
HiddenSanity
Yup, hence the questions, although if you navigate flightpaths with roadmaps, you'd be the first I've met, which could be interesting.
