************************************************
Passengers on a small commuter plane are waiting for
the flight to leave and they're getting a little
impatient. But the airport staff has assured them that
the pilots will be there soon and the flight can take
off immediately there after.
The entrance opens and two men walk up the aisle,
dressed in pilot's uniforms-both are wearing dark
glasses. One is using a seeing-eye dog, and the other
is tapping his way up the aisle with a white tipped
cane. Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin as
the men enter the cockpit.
The door closes, and the engines start up. The
passengers begin glancing around, nervously, 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
people at the windows realize that they're headed
straight for the edge of the water at the end of the
airport's property. It begins to look as though the
plane will never take off, but will plow into the
water!!
Panicked screams fill the cabin, but at that moment,
the plane lifts smoothly into the air.
The passengers relax and laugh a little sheepishly.
Soon they have all retreated into their magazines,
secure in the knowledge that the plane is in good
hands.
Up in the cockpit, the co-pilot turns to the pilot
and says, "You know, Bob, one of these days, they're
going to scream too late, and we're all gonna die.

experts build the Space Shuttle. Hummmmmmm....
