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 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 do 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 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."

Heard it before, but the woman in the balloon was the Democrat and the man on the ground was the Republican. It seems to me that liberals are so boring and lacking originality that they even have to steal conservative's jokes. The reason that I know this joke was made up by a conservative is because the woman is in the balloon and not on the ground, creating a secondary attack on feminists within the same joke.
Cheers!

I heard it before too, but there was an elephant and a mouse and no boat, hot-air balloon, GPS, or reference to republicans or democrats or managers and engineers reference. I laughed but can't remember the punch line.
