...when the captain and first officer come on board. Each is wearing thick sunglasses and carrying a walking stick, which they use to feel their way through the cabin towards the cockpit, tripping and stumbling as they go. Many passengers are understandably quite nervous, but several awkward laughs are heard as the cockpit door closes. It must be a joke-- after all, two blind pilots would never be allowed to fly an airliner.
The plane taxis to the runway and accelerates to take-off speed. It starts to seem as though the plane is taking a little longer than usual to nose up, and some passengers begin to fidget nervously. More seconds tick by and the plane is still zooming along on the ground, and *all* the passengers are nervous. Finally, the plane nears the end of the runway, and every passenger screams in terror, unable to contain themselves. The plane suddenly jerks upward and clears the runway just in time.
A sigh of relief passes over the whole cabin. A few laughs are heard. It was part of the joke all along!
Meanwhile, in the cockpit, the captain and first officer are setting their course. The first officer turns to the captain and says "You know Earl, I hate to say this, but one day they aren't gonna scream, and we're not gonna know when to take off."
