Blind Pilots
Passengers on a small commuter plane are waiting for the flight to leave and they're getting a little impatient. But the airport staff has assured them that the pilots will be there soon and the flight can take off immediately thereafter.
The entrance opens and two men walk up the aisle, dressed in pilots' uniforms - both are wearing dark glasses. One is using a seeing-eye dog, and the other is tapping his way up the aisle with a white tipped cane. Nervous laughter spreads through the plane as the men enter the cockpit.
The door closes and the engines start up. The passengers begin glancing around nervously searching for some sign that this is just a little practical joke. None is forthcoming. The plane moves faster and faster down the runway and people at the windows realise that they're headed straight for the edge of the water at the end of the airport's property.
It begins to look as though the plane will never take off but will plow into the water.
Panicked screams fill the cabin, but at that moment the plane lifts
smoothly into the air. The passengers relax and laugh a little sheepishly.
Soon they have all retreated into their magazines, secure in the knowledge
that the plane is in good hands.
Up in the cockpit, the co-pilot turns to the pilot and says, "You know
Bob, one of these days, they're going to scream too late and we're all
gonna die!"
