    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. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, and held up a handwritten sign that 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." 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 copilot asked the pilot how he had done it. "I knew it had to be the Microsoft Building, because they gave me a technically correct but completely useless answer." :-D

    I may be Green, but at least I'm environmentally friendly.

                            I think, all things being equal, if it came to a choice of getting with the times are calling people "duod"'s or losing a pint of blood, I'd tend towards the blood loss :)

                              :) Worthy of a smirk, though lacking in the usual in your face humor that we've come to acknowledge as the norm for MH and his anecdotes. A 4 ;)

                                        Jörgen - long time no see - hope you're well and happy. I'm going to send you a private 'ot' email (not computer related - hopefully you might have a mo to answer) cheers, Garth

                                          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. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, and held up a handwritten sign that 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." 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 copilot asked the pilot how he had done it. "I knew it had to be the Microsoft Building, because they gave me a technically correct but completely useless answer." :-D

                                          I may be Green, but at least I'm environmentally friendly.

                                          That's the oldest [insert company, profession or race] joke out there.
