I can relate to this ..
A man in a hot air balloon realised he was lost. He reduced altitude
and spotted a woman below. He 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 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 in I.T.," 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'm 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 in Management. "I am,"
replied the 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. 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 or other, .... it's my fault."
...............................
one, of friendly disposition, over many years, offered me
this solecism! The 'clincher' wouldn't work, except it has the leader.
Offered in jest; and I'm still giggling over it - in all good faith,
I decided to share it with you ..
TV presenters are now afflicted with 'wandering hands' disease?
Either a disease, or some interest in acting skills, has gotten to
them, and they are all .. at IT! The aim I gather, is to hold their
audience's attention, while they rattle on like a machine gun.
The Military must be claiming for that .. a 'rate of fire' that will
render the target/s, stationary and supine .. due to overkill.
John Snagg wouldn't have been in accord with such a display.
IT works though: I made haste to leave them; no delay.
weird mullins.
