Two blind pilots both are wearing dark glasses, one is using a guide dog, and the other is tapping his way along 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 sitting in the window seats realize they're headed straight for the water at the edge of the airport. As it begins to look as though the plane will plough in to 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 t heir magazines, secure in the knowledge that the pl ane is in good hands.
In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turns to the other and says,"ya know, Bob, one of these days, they're gonna scream too late and we're all gonna die.
One day an out of work mime is visiting the zoo and attempts to earn
some money as a street performer. As soon as he starts to draw a crowd, a
zoo keeper grabs him and drags him into his office. The zoo keeper
explains to the mime that the zoo's most popular attraction, a gorilla,
has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will
fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla until they
can get another one. The mime accepts.
So the next morning the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the
cage before the crowd comes. He discovers that it's a great job. He can
sleep all he wants, play and make fun of people and he draws bigger
crowds than he ever did as a mime. However, eventually the crowds tire
of him and he tires of just swinging on tires. He begins to notice that
the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to
his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the
top of his cage, crawls across a partition, and dangles from the top to
the lion's cage. Of course, this makes the lion furious, but the crowd
loves it.
At the end of the day the zoo keeper comes and gives the mime a raise
for being such a good attraction. Well, this goes on for some time, the
mime keeps taunting the lion, the crowds grow larger, and his salary
keeps going up. Then one terrible day when he is dangling over the
furious lion he slips and falls. The mime is terrified.
The lion gathers itself and prepares to pounce. The mime is so scared
that he begins to run round and round the cage with the lion close
behind. Finally, the mime starts screaming and yelling, "Help, Help
me!", but the lion is quick and pounces. The mime soon finds himself
flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says, "Shut
up you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?"
