Levity?

I came across this joke, which is an oldie, but, still appropriate and timely, given what we are enduring today. 
Keep the general concept in mind; just apply that concept to ALL remarks made until Election Day. 
 
This is my attempt to inject some levity; too many people are taking themselves far too seriously!  
 
 
 
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're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're at 35.18.493 south latitude and 149.07.479 degrees east longitude." 
 
“You must be in IT," 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've no idea what to make of your information and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip." 
 
The woman below responded, "You must be in Management." I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?" 
 
“Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my damn fault."
