On a plane flying from Seattle to San Francisco, the
plane
unexpectedly stopped in Sacramento. 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 gentleman who
was blind. My Buddy
had noticed him 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 on 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 man replied, "No thanks, but maybe my dog
would like to stretch his legs." Picture this: All the
people in the gate area came to a complete stand still
when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the
plane with a guide dog! The pilot was even wearing
sunglasses. People scattered. They not only tried to
change planes, but they were trying to change
airlines!
True story. Remember - things are not always as they appear.
