My dad (step) recently got an email on pilot humor, and of course, I can never resist sharing a good bit of humor with y'all, especially when it reminds me of an act Sam and I joked about. My glasses are the type that darken in the sunlight and revert to normal once I'm back indoors. Sam had very dark sunglasses so it was her idea that we pretend to be the disabled leading the disabled. She would hold onto the handle of my chair and "follow me trustingly" across the intersection near my apartment in Poky. We laughed as we imagined the potential reactions we might get if we'd actually walked that street.
Anyways this story reminded me of that lil amusement and caused me to laugh as I pictured all the people's faces and scrambling.
A buddy of mine was flying from Seattle to San Francisco. Unexpectedly the plane stopped in Sacramento along the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft, the plane would re-board in 30 minutes.
Everyone got off the plane except for one gentleman who was blind. My buddy had noticed the man as walked by and could tell the man was blind because his Seeing Eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of him throughout the entire flight. He could also tell the man had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached him, and calling him by name, said: "Keith, we're in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?" The blind gentleman replied, "No thanks, but maybe the dog would like to stretch his legs."
Picture this: All the people in the gate area came to a complete, silent standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with the Seeing Eye dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines!
LOL. Can you imagine? The people frantically trying to change flights and their faces as they watched this pilot...
