A pilot flying a small single engined charter plane, with a couple of really
important execs on board. He's coming into Californaia airport,
only there is thick fog, less than 10ft of visibility and his instruments
are out. So he circles around looking for landmark. After an hour or so,
he's pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous.
At last, in a small opening in the fog he sees a tall building with one
guy working alone on the fifth floor.
The pilot banks the plane around, winds down the window, and shouts to the guy
"Hi, where am I ?" to which the solitary office worker
replies "You're in a plane " The pilot winds up the window, executes a 275
degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of
the airport 5 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 useless, therefore that must be
ORACLE's support office and from there the airport is just 5 miles away on a
course of 275 degrees !"
