Blind Pilots
Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2005 8:55 pmTwo men dressed in Pilots' uniforms walk up the aisle.
Both are 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. but none 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
end of the runway.
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 knowledge that the plane is
in good hands.
In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turns to the other and says,
"You know, John, one of these days, they're gonna scream too late and
we're all gonna die."
