This story allegedly happened late one night during bad weather. As heard 
over the tower radio:
Helicopter Pilot: "Roger, I'm holding at 3000 over >such-and-such< 
beacon".
Second voice: "NO! You can't be doing that! I'm holding at 3000 over that 
beacon!"
(brief pause, then first voice again): "You idiot, you're my co-pilot." 

Still, there are some things a big company can do that
a small band of programmers could never hope to accomplish.
This was best shown to me this week by reader
Brian P. McLean, who points out that according to his
Microsoft Outlook 97 scheduling/datebook application,
Thanksgiving falls this year on Wednesday, November 26.

Thanksgiving has always fallen on Thursday before. Wednesday
may be an improvement. I don't know.
