A plane flying from Seattle to San Francisco was unexpectedly diverted to 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 50 minutes.
Everybody got off the plane except one lady who was blind. The flight attendant had noticed her as he walked by and could tell the lady was blind because her seeing-eye dog had lain 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'll be in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?"
The blind lady smiled and said, "No thanks Sam, but maybe Buddy would like to stretch his legs...could you take him out for a while?"
A few minutes later, the passengers at the gate area gaped as the pilot, wearing sunglasses and with his coat over his arm, walked off the plane led by a seeing-eye dog on a leash!
Shocked and terrified that they had been on a plane flown by a blind pilot, the group scrambled to change planes. Some even changed their airline!
The crew hurried to explain the situation to the frightened passengers. Order was restored after a while, but not before the pilot and his crew had had a hearty laugh!
