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 co-pilot finally appear on the tarmac, and begin walking towards the aircraft. The Captain and Co-Pilot appear to be supporting each-other as they thumble to the aircraft steps. Observing passenger notice that they are both wearing dark sunglasses and one is using a white cane and the other has a guide dog.
As they board passenger begin muttering amongst themselves on their bahaviour. At first the passengers do not react; thinking that it must be some sort of practical joke. However, after they have fallen into the cockpit a few minutes pass and the engines start spooling up and the airplane starts moving down the runway.
The passengers now look at each other with some uneasiness, whispering among themselves and looking desperately to the stewardesses for reassurance. Then the aircraft starts accelerating rapidly down the runway and people begin panicking.
Some passengers are praying, and as the plane gets closer and closer to the end of the runway at great speed, 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, at the very last moment the aircraft lifts off gracefully and is airborne.
Up in the cockpit, the Co-Pilot breathes a sigh of relief and turns to the Captain, "You know, one of these days their not going to scream and we're gonna get killed!"
