Are you in Engineering or Management?

[DJT]

A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, 'Excuse me maa'm, can you help me? I had promised a friend I would meet her 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 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 male 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'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip even more.'

The woman below responded, ]'You must be in management.'

'I am,' replied the male balloonist, 'but, how did you know?' ]

'Well,' said the woman, '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 within. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you, to solve your problems, and you are prompt to blame others for your fate and stupid deeds!!!!!]

I think they are both lost as their Global position puts them in theNorth Atlanticoff the coast of Nova Scotia! :shock:

Not sure what that makes them but they won't live long enough tohave a long career!

Here is another one for you:

Camilla bought new shoes for her wedding, which got increasingly tighter around her feet as the day wore on.

That night, when the celebrations
were over and they finally retired to their bedroom in Buckingham Palace, she flopped on the bed and said, 'Charles darling, please remove my shoes, my feet are absolutely killing me!'

Her ever-compliant Prince of Wales worked on her right shoe with vigour but it would not budge.
'Harder!' yelled Camilla, 'Harder!' Charles yelled back, 'I'm trying, my darling but it's just so blooming tight!'
'Come on, my Prince! Give it all you've got!' She cried.

Finally, when the shoe released, Charles let out a loud groan from the exertion. Camilla exclaimed, 'Aaahh, oh God, that feels sooo good!'
In their bedroom next door, the Queen said to Prince Phillip, 'See - I told you
with a face like that, she would still be a virgin!'

Meanwhile, as Charles tried to remove her left shoe, he cried, 'Oh, bloody hell, Darling, this one's even tighter!'
To which Prince Phillip said to the
Queen, 'That's my boy........... once a Navy man, always a Navy man!'
