Seeing Eye Pilot

"Seeing Eye Pilot"*

*A man named Mr. Smith was flying from San Francisco
to LA. Unexpectedly, the plane stopped in Sacramento
along the way. The flight attendant explained that
there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted
to get off the aircraft, the plane would re-board in 30 minutes.

Everybody got off the plane except one gentleman who
was blind. Mr. Smith had noticed him as he walked by
and could tell the blind man had flown before because
his Seeing Eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in
front of him throughout the entire flight. Mr. Smith
could also tell he had flown this very flight before
because the pilot approached him, and calling him by
name, said, "Keith, we're in Sacramento for almost an
hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?"
Keith replied, "No thanks, but maybe the dog would
like to stretch his legs."

Picture this: All the people in the gate area came to
a complete quiet standstill when they looked up and
saw the pilot walk off the plane with the Seeing Eye
dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses.

People scattered. They not only tried to change
planes, they were trying to change airlines!

Things aren't always as they appear...

"Blind Pilots"*

*Two blind pilots were both 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. 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, "Ya know, Bob, one of these days, they're
gonna scream too late and we're all gonna die."
