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."
