A guy rents a hot air balloon

A guy rents a hot air balloon and gets lost so he sees another man on the ground and manoeuvres close enough to yell down to the man:

“Could you tell me where I am?”

The man responds, “You are at 45 degrees latitude and 54 degrees longitude.”

“You must be a lawyer,” the guy in the balloon says.

“Well, yes I am,” the man says, “How did you know?”

“Because I asked you a question  and you gave me an answer I do not understand and I am no better off now than before I asked you.”

“Oh,” the lawyer says, “And you must be a client.”

“Well yes I am “  says the man in the balloon, “how did you know?”

“Because,” the lawyer responds,” you don’t know where you are, or where you are going. You got into your predicament through a lack of planning, and could have avoided it by asking for help before you acted. You asked me a question and I gave you the exact response to the question, but now you say because the answer doesn’t solve the problem you created and you are in no different position than you were in before we spoke, that somehow now it is all my fault.”
