Turnbull and the Engineer


Whether you like him or not...it is funny!

Turnbull was in a hot air balloon and realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a man below so he descended a bit more and shouted: 

'Excuse me, can you help me? I promised Bill Shorten I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am.'   

The man below replied, 'You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 33 and 34 degrees south latitude and between 143 and 144 degrees east longitude.' 

"You must be an engineer" said Turnbull. "I am, " replied the man, "How did you know?"

'Well,' answered Malcolm, 'everything you have told me is probably 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 by your talk.' 

The man below responded, 'You must our PM.' 

'I am,' replied Malcolm, 'but how did you know?' 

'Well,' said the man, '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, it's my bloody fault.'
