A man flying in a hot air balloon realised he was lost. He reduced height and spotted a man down below. He descended a bit further and shouted,
"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised my 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 this field. You are between 40 and 42 degrees north latitude and between 58 and 60 degrees west longitude."
"You must work in Operations," said the balloonist.
"I do," replied the man, "but how did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "Everything you have 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,
"And you must work in IT."
"I do," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "You don't know where you are or where you are going. You have made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is, you are in exactly the same position as you were before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault" !!

Comprehending IT - Take One
One IT guy met another in the park. "Hello," he
said, "where did you get such a great bike?"
The second IT guy replied, "Well, I was walking along
yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman
rode up on this bike.
She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes
and said, Take what you want."
The second IT guy nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the
clothes probably wouldn't have fit."
Comprehending IT - Take Two
An architect, an artist and an IT guy were discussing
whether it was better to have a wife or a mistress.
The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building
a solid foundation for an enduring relationship.
The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because
of the passion and mystery he found there.
The IT guy said, "I like both." The artist said "BOTH?"
The IT guy replied "Yeah. If you have a wife and a
mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with
the other woman, and you can go to the office and get some
work done.
Comprehending IT - Take Three
To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the IT guy, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
