Passengers on a small commuter plane are waiting for the flight to
leave. They're getting a little impatient, but the airport staff assures
them that the pilots will be there soon, and the flight can take off.
The entrance opens, and two men dressed in Pilots' uniforms walk up the
aisle. 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 little practical joke. None is forthcoming.
The plane moves faster and faster down the runway, and the people sitting
in the window seats realize that they're headed straight for the water at
the edge of the airport territory. As it begins to look as though the
plane will plow into the water, panicked screams fill the cabin.
At that moment, the plane lifts 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.
In the cockpit, the co-pilot turns to the pilot and says, "You know, Don,
one of these days, they're gonna scream too late, and we're all gonna die."
