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 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 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 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 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, 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."
