Blind
Pilots
One day at a busy airport, the passengers on a commercial
airliner are seated waiting for the pilot and co-pilot to show
up so the plane can take off. The pilot and co-pilot finally
appear in the rear of the plane, and begin walking up to the
cockpit through the aisle.
Both
appear to be blind. The pilot is using a while cane, bumping
into passengers as he walks down the aisle, and the co-pilot is
using a guide dog. Both have huge sunglasses covering their
eyes. At first the passengers don't react thinking it is a
practical joke.
After
a few minutes the engines start up and the plane starts down the
runway. The passengers look at each other with uneasiness and
look toward the stewardess for reassurance. The plane gets going
really fast and the passengers begin to panic. As the plane gets
closer and closer to the end of the runway, the voices of people
praying get more and more hysterical.
Finally,
when the plane is less than 10 feet from the end of the runway,
the passengers begin to scream at once. At the last moment the
plane lifts off and is airborne.
Up
in the cockpit, the co-pilot breathes a sigh of relief and says
to the Captain:
"You
know, one of these days the passengers aren't going to scream
and we're going to get killed."
