Passengers on a small commuter plain were waiting for their flight to leave. They are starting to get impatient, but the flight crew assures them that the pilots will be there soon and that they can take off immediately after that. Soon the doors open and two men walk in wearing pilot’s uniforms and both wearing dark glasses. One is using a seeing eye dog and the other is tapping along with a white cane. Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin, but he men enter the cabin and close the doors. The engines start up. The passengers glance nervously around, searching for some sign that this is a practical joke, but none are forthcoming. The plane moves faster and faster down the runway, and the people at the window realize that they are headed straight for the water at the edge of the airport territory. As it begins to look as though the plane will never take off, that it will plow into the water, panicked screams fill the cabin - - but at that moment, the plane takes off smoothly into the air. The passengers relax and laugh a little sheepishly, soon they have all retreated into their magazines and news papers, secure in the knowledge that the plane is in good hands. In the cockpit, the pilot turns to the copilot and says, “you know Bob, one of these days they are going to scream too late and we are all gonna die!”
