Two blind pilots board the plane wearing dark glasses. One is using
a guide dog and the other is tapping his way along the aisle with a
cane. Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin, but the men enter
the cockpit, the door closes and the engines start up.
The passengers begin glancing nervously around, searching for some
sign that this is just a little practical joke. No one is forthcoming.
The plane moves faster and faster down the runway and the people
sitting in the window seats realize they're headed straight for the
water at the edge of the airport. As it begins to look as though the
plane will plough into the water, panicked screams fill the cabin.
At that moment, the plane lifts smoothly into the air. The
passengers relax and laugh a little sheepishly and soon all retreat
into their magazines, secure in the know ledge that the plane is in good hands.
In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turns to the other and says,
"Ya know, Bob, one of these days, they're gonna scream too late and
we're all gonna die."
