Truck Driver goes on a hot air balloon ride and gets lost.
Drops the hot air balloon to ask directions from some guy he sees working in his back yard.
Truck Driver says "Can you tell me where I am?"
Guy In The Yard "Yes"
Truck Driver asks "Where am I ?"
Guy In The Yard "In a hot air balloon"
Truck Driver says "You must be a dispatcher !"
Guy In The Yard "Why do you say that?"
Truck Driver says "The information you gave me is technically correct but effectively useless"
Guy In The Yard says "You must be a truck driver ?"
Truck Driver says "How do you know that ?"
Guy In The Yard says "You.ve got yourself lost and now it.s my fault"

Smile :)
 
How appropriate is that?

I had a conversation like that not too long ago with a driver.

Me- Turn LEFT at the end of the offramp, then immediate LEFT again and your destination is on your LEFT.

45 minutes go by...

Me- How you making out?

Driver- Your directions SUCK, I turned RIGHT like you said, then RIGHT again, now I am in a residential area and can't find the address. Can you give me BETTER directions?
 
LOL... I recall years ago when I was on the road... I'd gotten myself lost (without the help of a dispatcher).

I was in Virginia and I pulled into a rural gas station and I said to the guy "Can you tell me how to get to the interstate?"

His response was "Why sure... now, which direction was ya coming from?"

Me "What difference does that make?"

Him "A whole heap of difference son... no wonder yer lost."

Me "It's OK... I'll find it myself."

I just knew this was the type of guy that would tell me things such as... "Turn right BEFORE you get to Ole George Wilson's barn" LOL

Make a hard right @ the black and white cow 'cause if you get to the white and black cow you done gone too far!
 
Several years ago I worked for a bulk tanker company in Ontario. We had a customer in Saint Bruno De Guigues, PQ that was getting some product. I called and asked for directions for the driver. I was sent a map to help the driver. On the map was a farm drawn with 4 black cows standing at the edge near the drawn road. I called them back and asked if the driver should expect 4 cows and if there weren't 4 how would he know if he was on the right road?

My customer turned out to have a great sense of humour and we joked about the map for a long time.
