A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her
altitude and spotted a man in a bass 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 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 bass fisherman. '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 Democrat'
'I am,' replied the balloonist. 'How did you know?'
'Well,' said the bass fisherman, '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 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.'
