Two women are on a transcontinental balloon voyage. Their craft is engulfed in fog, their compass gone awry. Afraid of landing in the ocean, they drift for days. Suddenly, the clouds part to show a sunlit meadow below. As they descend, they see a man walking his dog.
One of the flyers yells to the figure far below, ‘Where are we?‘
The man yells back, ‘About a half mile from town.‘
Once again, the balloonists are engulfed in the mist. One flyer says to the other, ‘He must have been a lawyer.‘
The other says, ‘A lawyer! How do you know that?‘
The first says, ‘That�s easy. The information he gave us was accurate, concise, and entirely irrelevant.‘
