Passengers on a small commuter plane were waiting for the flight
to leave. They were getting a little impatient, but the airport
staff had assured them that the pilots would be there soon, and
the flight could take off immediately after that.
The door opened, and two men walked up the aisle dressed in pilot
uniforms - both wearing dark glasses. One was using a seeing-eye
dog, and the other was tapping his way up the aisle with a cane.
Nervous laughter spread through the cabin as the men entered the
cockpit.
The door closed and the engines started up. The passengers began
to glance nervously around, searching for some sign that this was
just a little practical joke. None was forthcoming.
The plane moved faster and faster down the runway, and the people
at the windows realized that they were headed straight for the
water at the edge of the airport. As it began to look as though
the plane would never take off and that it would plow into the
water, panicked screams began to fill the cabin.
At that moment, the plane lifted smoothly into the air. The
passengers relaxed and laughed a little sheepishly, and soon they
had all retreated into their magazines, secure in the knowledge
that the plane was in good hands.
Up in the cockpit, the co-pilot turned to the pilot and said,
“You know Bob, one of these days, they’re gonna scream too late,
and we’re all gonna die.”
