Nights in England are coal black, making parachute jumps difficult and dangerous.   So we attach small lights called chemlites to our jumpsuits to make ourselves visible  to the rest of our team.  Late one night, lost after a practice jump, we knocked on the door to a small cottage.  When a women answered, she was greeted by the sight of five men festooned in glowing chemlites.  “Excuse me,” I said.  “Can you tell me where we are?”   In a thick English accent, the women replied, “Earth.”                                          Bill Black

 Lost Pilot

    A helicopter was flying around above Seattle, Washington, 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 hand-written sign,
    and held it in the helicopter's window. The pilot's sign read "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 read "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 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."
