Passengers on a small commuter plane are waiting for the flight to leave
and they're getting a little impatient. But the airport staff has
assured them that the pilots will be there soon and the flight can take
off immediately there after.
The entrance opens and two men walk up the aisle, dressed in pilots'
uniforms. Both are wearing dark glasses. One is using a seeing-eye dog,
and the other is tapping his way up the aisle with a white, tipped cane.
Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin as the men enter the cockpit.
The door closes, and the engines start up. The passengers begin glancing
around, nervously, searching for some sign that this is just a little
practical joke. None is forthcoming.
The plane moves faster and faster down the runway and people at the
windows realise that they're headed straight for the edge of the water
at the end of the airport's runway. It begins to look as though the
plane will never take off - that it will plough into the water! Panicked
screams fill the cabin - but at that moment, the plane lifts smoothly
into the air.
The passengers relax and laugh a little sheepishly. Soon they have all
retreated into their magazines, secure in the knowledge that the plane
is in good hands.
Up in the cockpit, the co-pilot turns to the pilot and says, "You know,
Bob, one of these days, they're going to scream too late, and we're all
gonna die"
