女子丟失 -- A Woman Is Lost!


A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."

"I am," replied the man. "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 I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."

"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect ME to solve your problem. You're in EXACTLY the same position you were in before we met, but somehow now, it's MY fault!

    Quoting  :

Well, the case is like this, the instruments actually show the student values that professor wanted just because of the student readjusted them (which means out of calibration now ha..ha...). The professor doesn't know the process of acquiring the data, but he sees the values are absolutely perfect to conclude something. From the student's point of view, he can conclude for sure, but he doesn't want to. Because he knows exactly that the data are incorrect.

I tried to think about it from the professor's point of view, but I didn't come up to the right term.

Anyway, I hope all of you like it and post it in your blog

So the real question is why did somebody pick Mertzon, TX for the location?

That joke's been around a while. The tech version:

A man in a hot air balloon is lost. He sees a man on the ground and reduces height to speak to him.

"Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?"

"You're in a hot air balloon hovering thirty feet above this field," comes the reply.

"You must work in Information Technology," says the balloonist.

"I do," says the man, "How did you know?"

"Well," says the balloonist, "Everything you told me is technically correct, but it's no use to anyone."

"You must be in management," says the man.

"I am," says the balloonist, "How did you know?"

"Well," says the man, "You don't know where you are, you don't know where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position you were before we met, but now it's my fault."

    Quoting ekawahyu:
    A young man entered an electronic laboratory and met a guy sitting on the workbench with a lot of instruments around him. Wondering of what he was doing he asked this guy, "excuse me, what are these instruments measuring?"

    The guy replied, "Well, I can tell you that 1.2 A of electric current passes through this light bulb on 220 working voltage. It produces heat upto 45 degree of Celcius and my data acquisition card tells me that the frequency of the electric generator is exactly 50Hz. But I don't know for how long this light bulb will last. It has been 5 hours and 23 minutes since I turned this light bulb on".

    The man said, "Ah, you must be a PhD Student then".

    "I am", the guy replied, "how do you know?"

    The man replied, "Because you collect data and all information of this light bulb, calculate everything, compare them, but you still don't know how to conclude and predict the lifetime of this light but, do you? You are wasting your time there".

    The guy said, "Well you must be a Professor then"

    "I am", the man replied, "how do you know?"

    The guy said, "Because you are just interested to the conclusion and somehow when the conclusion DOESN'T PLEASE you, I have to READJUST these instruments a little bit so that it shows the value that you WANTED. And now, you blame me for wasting my time here in front of these instruments. How can I CONCLUDE something from instruments that show me INCORRECT values?"

    (No offense to Professors, ok? I just write down what is in my mind right now )
R O T F L M A O <===

Copied and mailed to all of my graduate school professors and friends. This is so funny. I am still laughing.

KISSES HUGS

THANK YOU
