A pilot is flying a small, single-engine, charter plane with a
couple of really important execs on board into Sea-Tac airport.
The fog is thick, the visibility is 40 feet, and his instruments
are out. He circles looking for a landmark, and after an hour he
is low on fuel and his passengers are pretty nervous. At last,
through a small opening in the fog he sees a tall building with
one guy working alone on the fifth floor. Circling, the pilot
banks and shouts through his open window, "Hi, where am I?"
The solo office worker shouts "You're in an airplane". The
pilot then executes a swift 275 degree turn and performs a
perfect blind landing on Sea-Tac's runway, twenty five miles
away. Just as the plane stops, the engine cough and die from
lack of fuel. The stunned passengers ask the pilot "how did you
do it?"
"Simple" he says. "I asked the guy in that building a simple
question. The answer he gave me was 100% correct, but absolutely
useless. Therefore, that must be Microsoft's support office and
from there the airport is thirteen minutes away on a course of
187 degrees."
