[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 849959, member: 111"] So a couple of passengers hire a helicopter for a heli-tour of Redmond, WA. A terrible fog sets in, and the pilot is afraid for all their lives. He asks the passengers to be on the lookout for anything they can see other than fog. On of them spots a building sticking up out of the fog. The pilot hovers near a window, through which he can see a group of people in some sort of conference room. Thinking quickly, he has one of his passengers to make up a sign and hold it up so the folks inside could read it. The sign read, "Where are we?" After a minute or two of confering with each other, the building's occupants grabbed an easel and wrote a note on it, which they turned towards the helicopter. The note read, "You are in a helicopter!" The pilot immediately flew a few hundred yards away and safely landed the helicopter. His passengers, astounded, asked how he managed to do that. He replied: "Easy - I knew right where we were. With such a technically correct but totally useless answer we could only be at Microsoft HQ." Ba-bump-bump. [/QUOTE]
