There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter
plane, with a couple of very important executives on
board. He was coming into the Seattle airport through
thick fog with less than 10 miles visibility when his
instruments went out.
He began circling around looking for a landmark. Finally,
a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building
with a guy working alone on the fifth floor. He banks the
plane around, rolls down the window and shouts to the guy, "Hey
where am I?"
The man replies, "You're in an airplane." The
pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree turn and
proceeds to perform a perfect blind landing on the airport
runway 5 miles away.
Just as the plane stops, so does the
engine as the fuel has run out.
The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it.
"Quite easy," replies the pilot, "I asked
the guy in that building a simple question. The answer
he gave me was 100 percent correct but absolutely useless,
therefore, that must be Microsoft's support office and
from there the airport is just five miles due East."
