A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered altitude and spotted a man below. She shouted to him, "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 grabbed his portable GPS and shouted back, "You're in a hot air balloon approximately 30 feet above the ground at an elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You're at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north
latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican." "I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you haven"™t been much help to me."
The man smiled and replied, "You must be a Democrat." "I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are due to a lot of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, it's now my fault."
A Fitting Bit of Humor
