"Seeing-eye Dog"
A blind man is walking down the street with his
seeing-eye dog one day.
They come to a busy intersection and the dog,
ignoring the high volume of traffic zooming by on
the street, leads the blind man right out into the
thick of the traffic. This is followed by the screech
of tires and horns blaring as panicked drivers try
separately not to run the pair down. The blind man
and the dog finally reach the safety of the sidewalk
on the other side of the street and the blind man
pulls a cookie out of his coat pocket which he offers
to the dog.
A passerby, having observed the near fatal incident,
can't control his amazement and says to the blind
man, "Why on earth are you rewarding your dog
with a cookie? He nearly got you killed!"
The blind man turns partially in his direction and
replies, "To find out where his head is, so I can
kick his butt."

"Skydiving"
A blind man was describing his favorite sport,
parachuting. When asked how this was
accomplished, he said that things were all done
for him: "I am placed in the door and told when
to jump. My hand is placed on my release ring
for me, and out I go."
"But how do you know when you are going to
land?" he was asked.
"I have a very keen sense of smell and I can
smell the trees and grass when I am 300 feet
from the ground" he answered.
"But how do you know when to lift your legs for
the final arrival on the ground?" he was again
asked.
The man quickly answered. "Oh, the dog's leash
goes slack..."
