A party of economists was climbing in the Alps . After several hours they became hopelessly lost. One of them studied the map for some time, turning it up and down, sighting on distant landmarks, consulting his compass, and finally the sun.

Finally he said, ' OK see that big mountain over there?'

'Yes', answered the others eagerly.

'Well, according to the map, we're standing on top of it.

Do you get your jokes out of cornflakes boxes????????????

They're like cereal killers. You keep waiting for them to strike.

Reminds me of this one:

A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and

spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "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 woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering

approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees

north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."

"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist. "I am," replied the woman,

"How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is, 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."

The woman below responded, "You must be in Management." "I am," replied

the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well," said the woman, "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 fault."
