Two men dressed in pilot's uniforms walk up the aisle of the
airplane. Both are wearing dark glasses, one is using a guide dog.
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 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 the people
sitting in the window seats realize they're headed straight for
the water at the edge of the airport territory.
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 return to their magazines and conversation 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, Bob, one of these days, they're gonna scream too late
and we're all gonna die."
