A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He lowered his altitude, spotted a woman in a boat below and shouted to her:
Excuse me, can you help me?
I promised a friend Id meet him an hour ago, but I dont know where I am.
The woman consulted her portable GPS and shouted back, Youre in a hot air balloon approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. Youre at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."
The man rolled his eyes and yelled, You must be a Democrat."
I am, replied the woman. 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. Frankly, you havent been much help to me.
The woman smiled and yelled, You must be a Republican.
I am, shouted the balloonist. How did you know?
Well, said the woman, You dont know where you are or where youre going. Youve risen to where you are thanks 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. Youre in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow now its all my fault.
