As do so many things, this reminds me of a favorite joke.

A helicopter pilot and his passenger are about to land in the Seattle area when a sudden fog bank overtakes them. Suddenly, they're lost. Cautiously, the pilot picks through the fog, keeping a wary eye on the fuel gauge, and he finally finds himself facing a building where he can see people working inside.

Flashing his lights, he gets the workers' attention, Scrambling through their bags, the pilot and passenger find a marker and a piece of paper, and they make a sign. "WHERE ARE WE?"

The workers lean forward, gesture that they have received the message, and then pull out a white board and marker to send a message back. "YOU'RE IN A HELICOPTER."

The pilot drops down close to the deck, and with a few deft flicks of his wrist has the chopper down and safe about a minute later. The passenger is stunned. "How did you know so much from such a stupid sign?" he asks.

"The answer was clear, concise, completely correct and absolutely useless," the pilot says. "From that, I knew that it could only come from Microsoft tech support. the Redmond airport isn't far from there."
