...and he sees someone on the ground.

He yells down to the guy on the ground "Hey you! Where am I?"

The guy yells back, "You're in a hot air balloon at an altitude of approximately 45 meters, traveling South-Southwest with an airspeed velocity of 2 meters per second."

The manager yells back, "Hey you must be an engineer! Your answer is correct, but it is completely useless to me."

The engineer yells back, "You must be a manager! You got where you are with a lot of hot air and don't know where you are or where you're going, and now you want to tell me it's my fault."
