While watching the Commonwealth Games in India recently I saw a sign that said "English speaking taxi driver".
I thought, "What a ******* great idea! Why don't we have them in our country!?"
Thankyou for thatThe Balloonist & The Engineer
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 10 metre above the ground. You're between 25 and 26 degrees South latitude and between 27 and 28 degrees East 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 do not understand your answer & 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, now it's my fault!
