ReTHUG woman in a Hot Air Balloon - priceless
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 ReTHUG."

"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."
Freaking perfect
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

3. People often blame others for what they do.
Hence why they will be correcting what they did. Although I don't really blame them.

Side note, I am still due beer and travel money, and many experiences.

6. The Irony in the post is intentional :)
I find it pretty funny :) Thanks LOL

Personally it has helped me learn about many things to find such irony, so find that it can be a way to think and feel on things.

7. Absolutely Fabulous!
I just love this. And not to take anything away, because it is simply brilliant, but I see a tiny little problem. A Rethug woman wouldn't be in a hot air balloon by herself. In my opinion, any Rethug woman is co-dependant on the male she is trying to change.

22. Yes it has been around
for years. A few years ago, a right wing niece sent this to me with the roles reversed. I reversed the roles once again and sent it back to her. It works for either side.
