Hot air balloon > > A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her > altitude and spotted a man in a boat 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 consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air > balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet > above sea level. You are 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 Democrat." > > "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 do with your > information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help > to me." > > The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Republican." > > "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 large quantity 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, now it's my fault." >
