A chap was in a hot air balloon and he had unfortunately lost control of it. He approach a hill and saw a chap beneath him. He asked him for help and the chap below said, “How can I help you”. He said, “Where am I?” The chap on the ground said, “You are 3.31m from the ground, traveling at 5.13 km/h in a we westerly direction”. The chap in the balloon said, “Are you by any chance a Structural Engineer?”. He responded, “Yes I am how did you know?” The chap in the balloon said, “Well it is obvious as you know exactly where I am, the speed and direction in which I am going all of which is interesting but of no use to me!” The chap on the ground said, “Are you by any chance an Architect?” to which the balloonist said, “[i]Yes I am how did you know?”. The chap on the ground said, “It obvious, you have got yourself into the mess you are in, you expect me to be able to help and when I can’t solve your problem you have a go at me!”
I was going to change the Architect to a QS but a QS wouldn’t be brave enough to get into a hot air balloon. He would be too busy carrying out KPIs!!
