Blind Pilots

13:20

Two men dressed in Pilots' uniforms walk up the aisle of the plane , both are wearing dark glasses, one is using a guide dog and the other is tapping his way along 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 practical joke. None is forthcoming , the plane starts moving faster and faster down the runway and the people sitting in the window seats realise they are headed straight for the water at the edge of the airport.

As it begins to look as though the plane will plough into the water, panicked screams fill the cabin. At that moment, the plane lifts off smoothly into the air. The passengers relax and laugh a little sheepishly, and soon all retreat into their magazines, secure in the knowledge that the plane is in good hands and apparently it was just a sick joke .

In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turns to the other and says .

"YOU KNOW, KEVIN , ONE OF THESE DAYS, THEY'RE GONNA SCREAM TOO LATE AND WE'RE ALL GONNA BL**DY DIE."
