Since we’re dealing with humor here, I just got this email from my ex-wife….

This was posted to a technical writing e-mail list that I subscribe to, and made me laugh out loud…

A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical malfunction
disabled all of the aircraft’s electronic navigation and communications
equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the
helicopter’s position and course to fly to the airport. The pilot saw a tall
building, flew toward it, circled, drew a handwritten sign, and held it up in
the window. The sign read ‘WHERE AM I?’ in large letters. People in the tall
building drew a sign of their own, and held it in one of their own windows.
Their sign read: ‘YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER.’

The pilot smiled, waved, set a course for SEATAC airport, and landed safely.
Once on the ground, the ground crew hearing the pilot’s story asked him how he determined position. The pilot responded: “I knew that had to be the Microsoft tech support building in Redmond. The response they gave me was technically correct, but completely useless.”
