Got this from another list. Enjoy!
>------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >-- >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 underway. > >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 revving and the airplane 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 airplane 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 gonna get killed!
