spotted a woman below. He descended a little more and shouted, '"Can you
help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know
where I am.
The woman below replied "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately
30 feet above ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and
between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."
"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist." I am," replied the woman, "
How did you know?"
Well answered the balloonist, "Everything you told me is technically correct
, but I've no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am
still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've
delayed my trip."
The woman below responded,"You must be a politician."
"I am" replied the balloonist. "But how did you know?.
"Well" said the woman, "You don't know where you are or where you are 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, its all my fault." | a***n 发帖数: 1500 | 2 A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost.He reduced altitude and
