A commercial airline jet was sitting at the airport waiting for the pilot
and co-pilot to arrive. Just as the passengers started to really get
restless, the airline announced that the pilot and co-pilot had just
gotten in and were on their way. The pair came in through the rear door
and started making their way up through the plane. The passengers began
whispering among each other when it became apparent that the pilot and
co-pilot were looking very blind. Both of them kept making their way
toward the cockpit, tapping their red and white sticks against anything in
their path. The co-pilot even had a seeing-eye dog pulling him along the
aisles.
After they sat down at the cockpit, the passengers exchanged a few nervous
laughs and thin jokes about the safety of the flight. The engines revved
up and the plane began taxiing over to the runway. By this time a few
passengers were craning their necks trying to see into the cockpit to see
what the pilots were up to. When they approached the runway, the engines
grew louder and louder as the plane went faster and faster down the
runway. The passengers were really nervous as the end of the runway drew
too close for comfort. The passengers began screaming as the end looked
near. Just as the plane looked like it was going to crash off the runway,
the plane suddenly took off and began its ascent.
After the plane was at a safe altitude, the co-pilot said to the pilot
"You know, one of these days, they aren't going to scream and then how are
we going to know?
