Longitude & Latitude

The teacher of the earth science class was lecturing on map reading ...

After explaining about latitude, longitude, degrees and minutes the teacher asked, "Suppose I asked you to meet me for lunch at 23 degrees, 4 minutes north latitude and 45 degrees, 15 minutes east longitude ...?”

After a confused silence, a voice volunteered, "I guess you'd be eating alone."
