A man was flying from Seattle to San Francisco.Unexpectedly the plane was diverted to Sacramento along the way.The flight attendant explained there would be a delay,and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft the plane would reboard in 50 minutes.
Everybody got off the plane except one lady who was blind.The 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 name,said,"Kathy,we are in Sacramento for almost an hour.Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?"
The blind lady replied."No thanks,but maybe Buddy would like to stretch his legs."
PICTURE THIS: All the people in the gate came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw a 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!
