Two Blind Pilots

>>Sorry if this is a repeat:

Two blind pilots came into the plane along with the passengers, both were wearing dark glasses. One was using a guide dog and the other was tapping his way along the aisle with a cane.

Nervous laughter spread through the cabin, but both men entered the cockpit, closed the door, and started up the engines. The passengers began glancing nervously around, searching for some sign that this was just a little practical joke. None was forthcoming.

The plane then started moving. It moved faster and faster down the runway and the people sitting in the window seats realized the plane was headed straight for the water at the edge of the airport. As it began to look as though the plane would plough into the water, panicked screams filled the cabin.

At that moment, the plane lifted smoothly into the air. The passengers relaxed and laughed a little sheepishly and soon all retreated into their magazines, secure in the knowledge that the plane was in good hands.

In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turned to the other and said, "You know, Bob, one of these days, they're gonna scream too damned late and we're all gonna die..."
