Heard this joke this morning from an Army Major with a sense of humour:
A Colonel is flying a hot air balloon and realises he is lost. Down on the ground he sees a Sergeant walking. He descends the balloon till he is in earshot of the man below. Colonel: "Excuse me, could you please help me? I promised my General I would meet him half an hour ago but I don't know where I am." Sergeant: "You are in a hot air balloon, approximately ten meters above ground level, your speed is nine knots and your heading is 220 degrees. You are between 52 and 53 degrees North and between four and five degrees East". Colonel: "You must be a non-commissioned officer!" Sergeant: "That is correct, but how did you know?" Colonel: "Well, technically speaking, everything you told me is correct, but your information is useless to me. I am still lost." Sergeant: "You are a Colonel, aren't you?" Colonel: "Yes I am. How did you know?" Sergeant: "Simple. You have no idea where you are. You have no idea where you are going. You made a promise even though you haven�t got the faintest idea how to keep that promise, and now you expect me to solve your problem. You are still in the same situation you were before we met, but somehow now everything is suddenly my fault!" :-) :-) :-) The NCO's I work with loved it... :-) Jeroen _________________________________________________________________________ Wonderful World of Brin-L Website: http://www.Brin-L.com Tom's Photo Gallery: http://tom.vanbaardwijk.com
