A woman in a hot air balloon suddenly realizes shes lost so she lowers her altitude and spots a man fishing out of a boat below. She shouts 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 consults his portable GPS and replies, “You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.... "
She rolls her eyes and inturrupts him, “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 do with your information and I’m still lost. Frankly, you havent been much help to me.”
The man smiles and responds, “You must be a Democrat.”
“I am,” replies the balloonist. “How did you know?”
“Well,” said the man, “you don’t know where you are — or where you are going, you’ve risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air, you made a promise 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.”
