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 pilot's uniforms
walk up the aisle. Both are wearing dark glasses, one is using a
seeing-eye dog, and the other is tapping his way up 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 at the
windows 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 plough 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,
Bob, one of these days, they're gonna scream too late, and we're all
gonna die."
