Pilots
Passengers on a small commuter plane are waiting for the flight to leave.
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 after that. 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 cane.
Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin; but the men
enter the cockpit, the door closes, and the engines start up. The
passengers begin glancing nervously around, 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 realize that they're headed
straight for the water at the edge of the airport. As it begins to
look as though the plane will never take off, that it will plow into off the runway and 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, and 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."
