A novice sailor was lost when he spotted another boat and shouted Excuse me, I promised that I would be home by 5 o\'clock but I don\'t know where I am, can you help me? The other sailor said, Sure, you are on a lake in a sailboat with a 5 HP outboard. You\'re at 35 degrees north latitude and 81 degrees west longitude in about 18 feet of water. You must be a Republican,said the novice. I am and proud of it,\" said the other sailor. \"How did you know? Well, everything you told me may be correct, but it didn\'t answer my question and I am still lost. Frankly, you haven\'t helped me at all and now I\'m going to be late! The other sailor said You must be a Democrat. I am and proud of it, replied the novice, but how did you know? Well, you don\\\'t know where you are or how to get where you want to go. You made a promise that you can\'t keep and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you were lost before we met, but now, somehow, it\\\'s my fault.
