A woman in a hot air balloon realised she was lost. She spotted a man below and shouted, "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 ft above a ground elevation of 2346 ft above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes North latitude, and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes West longitude."
She said, "You must be a Democrat."
"I am," he replied. "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 am still lost. Frankly, you have not been much help."
The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Republican."
"I am!" she replied. "How did you know?"
"Well..." said the man, "You don't know where you are, or where you're going. You have 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 are in exactly the same position you were in before we met. But somehow, now it's all my fault. . .
