The blind skydiver

A blind man was describing his favorite sport, parachuting. When asked how
this was accomplished, he said that things were all done for him: "I am placed
in the door with my seeing eye dog and told when to jump. My hand is placed on
my release ring for me and out I go with the dog."


"But how do you know when you are going to land?" he was asked. "I have a very
keen sense of smell, and I can smell the trees and grass when I am 300 feet from
the ground" he answered.


"But how do you know when to lift your legs for the final arrival on the
ground?" he was again asked. He quickly answered: "Oh, the dog's leash goes
slack."
