A little joke....for a little laugh....enjoy
A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He lowered his altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. He shouted to him, "excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would met 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 the ground and elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

He rolled his eyes and said "you must be a democrat"

"I am" said 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 republican."

"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 problems. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it's my fault."
