[Jokes] My Helicopter is Lost

 A helicopter was flying around above Seattle yesterday 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 steer to the airport.
 
 The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a
 handwritten sign, and held it in the helicopter's window. The
 pilot's sign said "WHERE AM I?" in large letters. People in the
 tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large
 sign, and held it in a building window.
 
 Their sign said "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER OVER SEATTLE." The pilot
 smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer
 to SEATAC airport, and landed safely.
 
 After they were on the ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how
 the "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER" sign helped determine their
 position.
 
 The pilot responded "I knew that had to be the MICROSOFT building
 because, similar to their help-lines, they gave me a technically
 correct but completely useless answer."
