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.”
