1193367 2011-04-10 20:05:00 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 an Engineer,' 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 by 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 bloomin ! fault . '

1193375 2011-04-11 02:53:00 Yep. Bob_doe_nz is a real skinny bugger. The colour isn't true-to-life however.... johcar (6283)
1193376 2011-04-11 03:10:00 Yep . Bob_doe_nz is a real skinny bugger . The colour isn't true-to-life however . . . .

Is he greener or more toward chartreuse? I ustta be so skinny I had to run around in the shower* to get wet .

(*'shower" NZ= narrow vertical bathing room with hot and cold running water inside and a drain on the bottom - which might be on the top as youse guys live in Upsidedown land)

Three days ago we had a driving snow and hail blizzard and today the outdoor temperature is closer to human basal temperature . The fruit trees have all produced buds three times in the last sixty days, only to have them freeze and fall off again .

At least as a human I have a calendar and know it's only the first week of April (NZ= spring here) but trees are at a deficit as they can't read .

Stupid trees .
