A man in a hot air balloon realises he is lost. He reduces altitude and spots a woman below:

"Excuse me, can you help me? I don't know where I am."

" 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 a teacher", said the balloonist.

" I am ", replied the woman, " How do you know?"

" Well, see, everything you told me is correct but what use it is to me? I'm still lost."

The woman looks down at her shoes and then looks up again:

" And you must be a school administrator.!

" Correct. And how did you know?

" Well", said the woman, " you don't know where you are or where you are going. The clinching fact is that you have risen to where you are thanks to a large quantity of hot air! "
