The aircraft entrance opens, two 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. 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 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, Bob, one of these days, they're gonna scream too late and we're all
gonna die."
