One day at a bussy airport, the passengers on a commercial airliner are seated, waiting for the cockpit crew to show up so they can get under way. The pilot and copilot finally appear in the rear of the plane and begin walking up to the cockpit through the center aisle. Both appear to be blind. The pilot is using a white cane, bumping into passengers right and left as he stumbles up the aisle, and the copilot is using a guide dog. Both have their their eyes covered with huge sunglasses. At first passengers do not react, thinking that it must be some sort of a practical joke. However, after a few minutes engines start revving and the airplane starts moving down the runway. Then the airplane starts accelerating rapidly, and people began panicking. Finally, the plane lifts off and is airborne. Up in the cockpit, the copilot breathes a sign of reliefand turns to the pilot: 'You know, one of these days the passengers aren't going to scream, and we are going to get killed!'

The joke is that the pilots are blind and needed the input from the passengers to know when to lift off. If the passengers hadn't screamed the airplane would have run along on the ground until it hit something solid.

I'm guessing that they come close to hitting something and because of the screams, they pull up.
It is like having many back seat drivers in a car.
It isn't a very good joke, but, alas, they all can't be gems.
C. :)!!

Their screaming indicates they are nearing the end of the runway, so it is time to lift off
