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.

Heard it before, hinge, but it's good. Belongs on the 'Bad Jokes' thread.

That was spikepipsqueak, not hinge, Merry.

Sorry 'bout that.

Not really that big a deal, Merry. I forgive you.

Well, thank you, JTT, but the big question is does spike forgive me?

I'm sure he will, Merry. He's not really a pipsqueak.

You can mistake me for hingehead any time, I consider it a compliment.

Spike that's an interesting variation on the guy lost in a ballon in the fog. It clears briefly and he sees a guy ten feet below standing on the ground, he aks "Where am I?"
The guy on the ground says " you're in a balloon ten feet above the ground"

Balloon guy says "You must be in IT"
Ground guy asks "why?"
" because your answer is technically correct and completely useless"
Ground guy says "You must be in management"
Ballon guy asks why.
"Because you're in the same position you were before you talked to me but now it's my fault"

Ouch. I thought it was going to be "Avocado's number."

Indeed!

Teacher: There is no word that has three consonants in a row in the same syllable.
Student: Right.
Teacher: Sugar is the only word where s is pronounced sh.
Student: Sure.
Teacher: The only spelling for the ch sound is ch.
Student: Naturally.

Funny even upside down.

I found Piraro's six additions in the cartoon. Did you find 'em too, Reeg, anyone?

Are you talking about the little things seemingly stuck in at random?
Is he known for that?
I see a couple bushes that have faces, a rabbit, a firecracker with lit fuse, an eyeball (?), and a very confused woodpecker. That what you mean?

Look above @Dan Piraro in any of his cartoons. There'll usually be a number - rare is it that he doesn't put any number. The number lets the reader know how many doohickeys are in that day's cartoon.
