PILOTS
Two men dressed in pilots uniforms walk up the aisle of a large passenger jet. 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 as the men enter the cockpit. The door closes and a moment later the engines start up.
The passengers begin glancing nervously around, searching for a sign that this is just a practical joke. None is forthcoming. The plane begins to roll forward and quickly accelerates down the tarmac. Suddenly, the people sitting in the window seats realize they're headed straight for the water at the end of the runway. 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, laughing sheepishly, and soon 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."
