    The man must be pretty stupid if he keeps getting lost so regularly - this is the 20th time someone's posting here about him getting lost. He is not only a Manager, but probably a very senior one too. :rolleyes:

    If [God] knows what we are going to do then we have no free will and are just characters in a play written by him. Without free will, morality for humans makes no sense. Without free will and morality, any sort of punishment or reward system loses any justification. Heaven and hell would be places where [God] could watch the souls he created, predestined just for eternal happiness or agony. - Mark Thomas

      Being a manager, at least he's got an infinite supply of hot air to keep his balloon afloat.

        My plan of inebriating (or how ever you spell it) the world by getting the :badger::badger::badger: song stuck in their head is working then :-D


        Google it. If that fails then start a :badger::badger::badger: dance.

            A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a man below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am." The man below replied, "You are in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You are between 40 and 42 degrees north latitude and between 58 and 60 degrees west longitude." "You must be an engineer," said the balloonist. "I am," replied the man, "but how did you know?" "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost." The man below responded, "You must be a manager." "I am," replied the balloonist, "how did you know?" "Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are exactly in the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."

                            They didn't intend to... they put everyone in tents and the executives keep floating away from the hot air rising above them.

                                No, We have managers who are stuck on the ground, lost and looking up, trying to figure out what that new invention is and what's holding it up, and how they can take credit for it.
