The Balloonist and the Fisherman (A Joke for Friday)
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: âExcuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I donât know where I am.âThe man consulted his portable GPS and replied: âYouâre in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2346 feet above seal 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: âYou must be a Republican.â
âI amâ replied the man. âHow did you know?â
âWell,â answered the balloonist: âeverything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and Iâm still lost. Frankly, youâve not been much help to me.â
The man smiled and responded: âYou must be a Democrat.â
âI am.â Replied the balloonist: âHow did you know?â
âWellâ said the man: âYou donât know where you are or where youâre going, youâve 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. Youâre in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now itâs my fault.â
