A Microsoft Joke
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
10m visibility when his instruments went out. So he began circling
around looking for 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 a while away."
