Full of Hot Air
A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered
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 2,346 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 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've not been much help to me."
The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."
"I am," replied the balloonist. "But 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've made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and now 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
