Lost Woman

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered altitude & 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 & 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 & 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."

She rolled her eyes & 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, & I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled & responded, "You must be a Democrat."
"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, & 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.
