Did you hear about the helicopter pilot who was lost over Seattle? The fog was so thick that all he could see was the top of a building sticking up through the clouds.

He maneuvered himself close to the building, hovered beside a window and wrote on his notepad “Where am I?” and held it up hoping the occupants of the building would give him a landmark so he could find his way to the airport.

The office workers read his message and then wrote on a large white board, “You’re in a helicopter”. He then turned his copter 45 degrees and flew directly to the airport.

His copilot asked how he knew which way to go. He said, “I knew from the message I was beside the Microsoft building. They’re the only people in the universe who could have given me an answer that was technically perfect but utterly useless.”
