A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her 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 dont know where I am. The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, Youre 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 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 do with your information, and Im still lost. Frankly, youve 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 man, you dont know where you are -- or where you are going.
