the flight
Two men dressed in pilots' uniforms walk up the
aircraft 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 plow 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."
