The pilot of a single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board, 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 half an hour or so, he is running on reserve 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? The solitary office worker replies "You're in a plane."

The pilot rolls up the window, turns to a heading of exactly 200 degrees and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the main runway at SEATAC airport almost 20 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 X@%$# useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the main runway at Sea-Tac is 20 miles at a heading of 200 degrees."
