A helicopter pilot is flying to Seattle, and hits a pea-soup-thick fog bank. He's completely disoriented, and flies blindly around until he spies the top few floors of an office building. He pulls up real close to it, and gets the attention of a woman sitting at her desk.
"Excuse me!" he yells to the woman. "Where am I?"
"You're in a helicopter," she replies.
The pilot pulls off sharply to the left, takes one or two crisp turns through the dense fog, and then does a perfect blind landing at the Seattle-Tacoma Airport.
"That was amazing!" says a passenger. "How did you know from that woman's answer where you were?"
"Easy," says the pilot. "Her answer, while correct, was absolutely useless.
So I immediately knew the building had to be Microsoft Tech Support."

As a Delta Air Lines jet was flying over Arizona on a clear day, the co-pilot was providing his passengers with a running commentary about landmarks over the PA system."Coming up on the right, you can see the Meteor Crater, which is a major tourist attraction in northern Arizona. It was formed when a lump of nickel and iron, roughly 150 feet in diameter and weighing 300, 000 tons, struck the earth at about 40, 000 miles an hour, scattering white-hot debris for miles in every direction. The hole measures nearly a mile across and is 570 feet deep."From the cabin, a passenger was heard to exclaim, "Wow! It just missed the highway!"

As a result of an overwhelming lack of requests, and with research help from that renowned scientific journal SPY magazine (January, 1990) - I am pleased to present the annual scientific inquiry into Santa Claus.

1) No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300, 000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen.

2) There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn't (appear) to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15% of the total - 378 million according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3. 5 children per household, that's 91. 8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each.

3) Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the more...

Sue and Bob, a pair of tightwads, lived in the mid west and had been married for years. Bob had always wanted to go flying. The desire deepened each time a barnstormer flew into town to offer rides. Bob would ask and Sue would say, "No way, ten dollars is ten dollars."
The years went by, and Bob figured he didn't have much longer, so he got Sue out to the show, explaining, "It's free to watch, let's at least watch."
Once he got there the feeling became overwhelming. Sue and Bob got into an argument.
The Pilot, between flights, overheard, listened to their problem, and said, "I'll tell you what, I'll take you up flying, and if you don't say a word the ride is on me, but if you make one sound, you pay ten dollars."
So off they flew. The Pilot doing as many rolls and dives as he could. Heading to the ground as fast as the plane would go and pulling out of the dive at just the very last second. Not a word. Finally he admitted defeat and more...
