Humour: Management vs Data Scientist

A company manager is flying across the desert in a hot air balloon when he realizes he is lost. He calls down to a man below him and asks where he is.
The man replies “You’re 36 degrees and 11 minutes, 18.4 seconds north, 120 degrees , 16 minutes west, 180 metres above sea level, heading due east.”
“Thanks,” replies the balloonist. “By the way, are you an analyst?”
“Yes,” replies the man, “how did you know?”
“Everything you told me was probably accurate, you gave me way more than I needed but I still have no idea what to do.”
“I’m sorry,” replied the man.“ By the way, are you a Manager?”“Yes,” said the balloonist, “how did you know?”

“Well,” replied the analyst, “You’ve got no idea where you are, no idea what direction you’re heading in, you got yourself into this fix by blowing a load of hot air, and now you expect me to get you out of it.”
