One for Capn Bob
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 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 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, Bob,
one of these days, they're gonna scream too late, and we're all gonna die."
