Balloonatic

So I heard a very interesting story the other day. A guy and his friend are at a fair and they see that there's a man giving rides on a hot air balloon. The two friends buy their tickets and eagerly wait in line for their turn on the flying contraption. When it's finally their turn they step inside excitedly and the pilot drops some sand bags. They go straight up, up, up into the stratosphere. The pilot doesn't know how to go back down, and they're blown far off course by some very intense winds. Eventually they get the balloon under control and bring it down to where they can see a farmer working his field below. Our protagonist leans over the side of the balloon and shouts down to the farmer,
"hello down there! Can you tell us where we are?"
The farmer responds, "Why, you're in a balloon of course, you fool!"
And he was right.
