Sponsorship

A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. So he descended a bit and shouted to a man on the ground "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 on the ground 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 a sponsor," said the balloonist.

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

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is, I believe, technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information and fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've probably delayed my trip."

The man below responded, "You must be a sponsee."

"I am," replied the balloonist, "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 other people to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."

that's pretty funny, but I never experienced that. My sponsors were all pretty straight forward. Now I could understand if it were two women teevee.gif
