Here's a true story.
_____________________________

I was flying from San Francisco to Los Angeles. By the time we took off, there had been a 45-minute delay and everybody on board was ticked.

Unexpectedly, we stopped in Sacramento on the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be another 45-minute delay, and if we wanted to get off the aircraft, we would reboard in 30 minutes.

Everybody got off the plane except one gentleman who was blind. I noticed him as I walked by and could tell he had flown before because his seeing eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of him throughout the entire flight. I could also tell he had flown 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?" Keith 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 completely quiet standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with the seeing eye dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, they also were trying to change airlines!

that is absolutely brilliant HA!

i bet the poor airline lost a lot of revenue because of that.

heheheheheheheheahahahahahamuahhahahahaha!!!

I wonder if the technology today can make way for blind pilots.....

but in any case, i wouldn't want to be in that plane

omfg ! !

ROFL ! !! !!

Ha! Good one

That's an old joke, except it took place with a famous blind guy (forget his name), and TMFT is a jerk for perpetuating urban legends.

Edit: Here, look at all the matches. Exactly the same wording. http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?FORM=MS...sses+seeing-eye

What the fuck inspires you to pretend this is something that happened to you?

Ooooh busted!!

I don't think it's funny, I think it's pathetic. People shouldn't make that shit up, pretend like it really happened, particularly moderators. It's just being a childish attention whore.

I'm going to stick up for TMFT on this one. Yes he made the mistake of saying it's a true story. He did not say that it happened to him, or to one of his friends, or to the third cousin of his friends great uncle joe bob. He most likely found it on another site saying that it was a true story and went from there. He's not perpetuating an Urban Legend he is posting a JOKE. He does not have the time, and most likely, the inclination to research every damn joke he posts.


Now as for perpetuating legends, I do that all the time in the mythology forum, just because of this I may even start perpetuating Urban Legends because those are a part of Mythology.

Sjeejs, just remember this is a joke forum, as such most everything posted except for Mod announcements and such are jokes and should be treated as such.

When I read somthing funny like this, I think of stuff like "Blair witch Project"... You kind-of know it's not real, but let yourself get sucked in to enjoy it. I think that if we are offended, then we probably ought to lighten up and laugh a little... This story COULD happen.

It says it's a true story and its in the first person. Logical assumption is he's claiming it happened to him.

But perhaps he copied it from somewhere?

Seriously man, take a chill pill. This forum is for fun, not for annoying bums and bad behavior. Enjoy the jokes.

Someguy: Sorry if I made it seem like it happened to me. IT DIDN'T.
I found it online, claiming it was a true story. I copied/pasted, and mentioned it was a true story. IT DID NOT HAPPEN TO ME.

...And Drake: Thanks for stickin' up.

Well then change it from I, or at least say it happened to someone else, ya lazy bastard

I'll have to go with Drake and TMFT on this whole urban legends bit. I posted a story about the girls, the lipstick, and the janitor a while back that I got from a friend who got it from another friend and so on and so forth (yup, gotta love how urban legends go). I also think that it's something of a unwritten warning that when you enter the joke forum you "Believe at your own risk," so to speak. Then of course there are the "Boneheads of the Day," and being somewhat desensitized to the intelligent actions of our species I tell myself that it's DAMN likely that someone out there did that . . . and then others did the same.

There's no reason to get up in arms over a joke... I think it's very funny. And I never think any of these are true stories anyways, or whatever... it doesn't matter if it happened or not, only if it's amusing.

This is not the first time i've seen someguy being an uptight prick. Dude, read the joke, laugh (or not if it isn't funny), move on. Stop with the holier-than-thou attitude and calm down, either that or stop coming to this site.

I believe that the Forum heading does say "Funny" and "Jokes" so that nothing serious should really go here.

Try going to www.darwinawards.com. It's my favorite source of urban legends.

wow, hard to believe that someone without a sense of humor is hanging around a forum based on one of the funniest comics I've read by far...

This issue was solved about 2 months ago, in case ya didn't know.
