Hopefully-this won't create any hard feelings for those who are more
politically inclined than others.. It offers a good laugh at the expense of
politics..
A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and
spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more 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 woman below replied, "You are in a hot air balloon hovering
approximately 30 feet above the ground. You are between 40 and 41 degrees
north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."
"You must be a republican engineer," said the balloonist.
"I am," replied the woman. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically
correct, your presentation is direct, to the point with no fluff , but I
have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still
lost. Frankly, you've not been much help so far."
The woman below responded, "You must be a Democrat manager."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you are
going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air.
You made a promise, which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me
to solve your problem. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you
were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."
