Keep and Eye Out for American Spirit in a Hot Air Balloon
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 in an hour, but 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 ground elevation of 2346 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", the man replied. "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. "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 on 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 before we met, but somehow now, its my fault." |
