A helicopter pilot flying a passenger to Seattle hits a
pea-soup-thick fogbank.  He's completely disoriented, and
flies blindly around until he spies the top few floors of an
office building.  He pulls up real close to it, and gets the
attention of a woman sitting at her desk.

Using a marker and the back of a map, he quickly makes up a
sign to show the woman.  It reads, "Where am I?"

The woman reads it, smiles, and quickly makes up her own
sign, reading: "You're in a helicopter."

The pilot waves his thanks, pulls off sharply to the left,
double-checks his compass, takes one or two crisp turns
through the dense fog, and then performs a perfect landing
at the Seattle Airport.

"That was amazing!" says the passenger.  "How did you know
from her answer where you were?"

"Easy," says the pilot.  "Her answer, while correct, was
absolutely useless.  So, I knew I was at Microsoft Tech
Support."
