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.
Everybody Got Off The Plane Except One Gentleman Who Was Blind. My Buddy
Had Noticed The Man As He Walked By And Could Tell The Man Was Blind
Because His guide Dog Lay Quietly Underneath The Seats In Front Of
Him Throughout The Entire Flight.
He Could Also Tell He 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 Guy 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,
Dead-Silent
Standstill When They Looked Up And Saw The Pilot Walk Off The Plane With
The guide Dogon a shortened leash! The Pilot Was Wearing Sunglasses. People
Scattered. They
Not Only Tried To Change Planes, But They Were Trying To Change
Airlines!
Have A Great Day! And Remember Things Aren't Always As They Appear.
