Flying Blind

Two blind pilots were both wearing dark glasses. One was using a guide dog
and the other was 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. 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. 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, "Ya
know, Bob, one of these days, they're gonna scream too late and we're all
gonna die."
