Blind faith
A WOMAN was flying from Melbourne to Brisbane. Unexpectedly, the plane was diverted to Sydney. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, hence if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft they could re-board in 50 minutes. Everybody got off the plane except one lady who was blind.
A man had noticed her as he walked by and could tell the lady was blind because her Seeing Eye Dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of her throughout the entire flight.
He could also tell she had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached her, and calling her by name, said,“Kathy, we are in Sydney for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?”
The blind lady replied, “No thanks, but maybe Max would Like to stretch his legs.”
Picture this:
All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a 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!
Why so snippy?
When our lawn mower broke down my wife kept hinting to me to get it fixed.
But somehow I always had something else to take care of. First the shed then boat, making beer, always something more important to me.
Finally, she thought of a clever way to get her point across.
When I arrived home one day I found her sitting in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors.
I watched silently for a short time then went into the house. I was gone only a minute and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush.
I said, “when you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway.”
I am hoping to be allowed back home again some time soon.
