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."

boy opened the big family Bible with fascination,
and looked at the old pages as he turned them. Suddenly,
something fell out of the Bible, and he picked it up
and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a
tree that had been pressed in between the pages. "Momma,
look what I found," the boy called out.
"What have you got there, dear?" his
mother asked.
With astonishment in the young boy's
voice, he answered: "I think it's Adam's suit!"

John and Dave were both patients in a
mental hospital. One day while they were walking past
the hospital swimming pool, John suddenly dove into
the deep end. He sank to the bottom and stayed there.
David promptly jumped in to save him. He swam to the
bottom and pulled John out.
One of the doctors noticed David's heroic
act and immediately ordered for David to be released
from the hospital, as he considered him to be cured.
The meeting went as followed: Doctor: We have good news
and bad news for you, David. The good news is that you
are being released from the hospital because you have
regained your senses. Since you were able to jump in
and save another patient you must be stable. The bad
news is that the patient you saved, John, hung himself
in the bathroom and died. David: Doctor, he didn't
hang himself. I hung him there to dry.
