There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a
couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into
Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10 miles visibility
when his instruments went out. So, he began circling around looking
for a landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low
on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous.
Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building
with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. The pilot banks the
plane around,rolls down the window and shouts to the guy, "Hey where
am I?"
To this, the solitary office worker replies, "You're in a plane."
The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds
to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 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.
"Simple," 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."
