Joke

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 2346 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 Democrat."

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

3. My favorite engineer/marketing joke is as follows:
An engineer and marketer were both shown a beautiful woman across the room. They were both told they could approach the woman but each step they took would cover half the distance to the woman.

The engineer began to shake violently knowing he would never reach the woman.

The marketer smiled knowing he would get close enough.

4. Okay
Two statisticians go to war and are in a foxhole together. They see an enemy soldier running in the distance.

The first statistician fires too late; the bullet goes wide behind the enemy. The second statistician, to correct for the error, leads too much and his shot also goes wide.

They both slap high fives and yell, "We got him!"
