Very Timely Joke

From a wonderful Grandma-

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 2,346 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 Republican."

 

"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 an Obama

 Democrat."

 

"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

 

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where

 you are going.. You've risen to where you are, due to a

 large quantity of hot air. You made a promise 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."
