A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost.

She lowered altitude and spotted a man in a boat below and 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 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 make of 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 Democrat.?

?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.?

Republicans and Democrats are like the yankees and redsox in baseball. Everyone is tired of hearing about them but they got all the money and alot of rabid idiotic fanboys behind them so we have to put up with them. The problem is in american politics theres no whitesox to come in and pwn them both.

Still pretty funny, but I always heard it as an engineer and management, which makes more sense.

Engineer/manager makes it funny. Not funny as is though.
