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 kind of a 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 property. Just as it begins to look as
though the plane will plow straight 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 and books, secure in the knowledge that the plane is in good
hands.
Meanwhile, 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."
