One day at a busy airport, the passengers on a commercial airliner are
seated, waiting for the cockpit crew to show up so they can get under
way. The pilot and copilot finally appear in the rear of the plane,
and begin walking up to the cockpit through the center aisle. Both appear
to be blind. The pilot is using a white cane, bumping into passengers
right and left as he stumbles down the aisle, and the copilot is using a
guide dog. Both have their eyes covered with huge sunglasses. At first the
passengers do not react: thinking that it must be some sort of practical joke.
However, after a few minutes the engines start spooling up and the
plane starts moving down the runway. The passengers look at each other with some uneasiness, whispering among themselves and looking desperately
to the stewardesses for reassurance. Then the plane starts accelerating
rapidly and people begin panicking. Some passengers are praying, and
as the plane gets closer and closer to the end of the runway, the voices
are becoming more and more hysterical. Finally, when the airplane has
less than 20 feet of runway left, there is a sudden change in the
pitch of the shouts as everyone screams at once, and at the very last moment the airplane lifts off and is airborne.
Up in the cockpit, the copilot breathes a sigh of relief and turns to
the pilot: "You know, one of these days the passengers aren't going to
scream and we're all gonna get killed!"
