You Might Not Like It, But It is Too Funny Not to Share

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 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 an Obama 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 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."

I'm not entirely clear what you mean, Jim, but I hope you enjoyed my post anyway.

What he means is that is old and the original had the character's just the opposite but your a democrat so you have switched it which surprises no one.
Democrats take to the air not knowing where they are but have no idea where they going just like the country is today.

I'm guessing most everyone thinks most jokes are really meant to skewer someone other than themselves and their own viewpoint.
I just thought it was funny. And would think so even if the Republican/Democrat roles were reversed.
Of course it would be incorrect, but still funny.

I won't comment on your joke. But the title of your thread. You let many of us think you found a funny story about Hillary or President Obama lighting themselves on fire and perhaps the crowd watching would be laughing due to the farts exploding from the heat. But no...you just had some joke. It would be nice if you did track down Obama or Hillary and see what you could do about that fire!

Oh AO, at least you are consistent in your contrary disposition! I can always count on you to hope for something truly vulgar and mean-spirited.
Although it is some comfort to always know where you stand, I'd truly love to be surprised by a little glimmer of humanity one day.
I know it's there in you, and I ain't givin' up on you yet!!!!!!!

Had the balloon been properly ironed, the roles would have been reversed. Admit it Paul! 😆

Hahahahah! A properly cared for balloon is always preferable to a rumpled one!!!
Hope you and yours have had a wonderful holiday, and I wish nothing but the best for you all in the coming year.

The problem with this joke is not that it's not funny, it is technically incorrect.
The first coordinate is an incorrect format. There are only 60s in a minute. It should read 31 degrees 15 minutes 37secs N.

I agree but either way it wasn't that funny so here is a few more
What's the difference between obama and a trampoline? You take your boots off to jump on a trampoline.
Whats the difference between a vacuum cleaner and obama on his bike? The dirt bag is on the inside of a vacuum cleaner.
Why doesn't Michelle obama wear any panties to a picnic? It keeps the flies off the watermelon
Why did obama cross the road? He had his dick in a chicken.

It was funny, but it was originally a Democrat balloonist; or rather a Liberal balloonist. Did you get my PM?
