A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "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 woman below replied, "You are in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground.
You are between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."
"You must be a programmer," said the balloonist.
"I am" replied the woman,"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 the fact is I am still lost.
Frankly, you've not been much help so far."
The woman below responded, "You must be a manager."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the woman,"You don't know where you are or where you are going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow "it's my fault."
My balloon elephant wouldn't fit in my backseat
So I had to pop the trunk
A friend of mine has recently started a hot air balloon business
He hasn't got it off the ground yet
I had a cousin who created a cold air balloon.
But it never took off
I was having an argument about balloons the other day . . .
I may have blown things out of proportion.
I bought a balloon for $0.99
How much should I sell it for after I adjust for inflation?
What do you put in a female balloon?
Shelium.
An Englishman, an Irishman, a Scotsman and a Welshman were riding in a hot-air balloon.
The balloon was about to crash into a mountain, so the pilot says to them, "We need to lose more weight to get clear. One of you has to jump" So the Scotsman says "I do this for the glory of Scotland!" and he jumps out of the basket.
But the balloon wasn't high enough yet. "We need to lose more weight!" the pilot says. So the Welshman says, "I do this for the glory of Wales!" and jumps out of the balloon to his death.
"We need to lose the weight of just one more person, and we'll make it!" the pilot says. So the Irishman says, "I do this for the glory of old Ireland!" and he picks up the Englishman and throws him over the side.
Did anyone hear about that country who started using balloons as currency?
They ended up with a massive inflation problem.
