A WOMAN was flying from Seattle to San Francisco. Unexpectedly, the plane was 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 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 by 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 area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the 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!
True story... Have a great day and remember...

THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS AS THEY APPEAR.

standbymind,
You can't always trust your own eyes.
People can be quite silly; after all… the dog did get them that far… :)
Livingsworth,
Thanks, that was a nice added touch.
Yep, that's about right. I've learned that things are rarely what they appear. Scarey isn't it. Have a great day. :)

Amel,
It was the message I was looking to get across. I'm glad it also made you laugh.
Judy,
Thank you!
Please don't post things saying they're true when their not. This one sounds great and has a wonderful message, but never happened. http://www.snopes.com/humor/jokes/pilotdog.asp
My family (scattered around the country) and I enjoyed the story but it's heartbreaking to reply to group emails (and cool/great blogs) about how creative writing is not always the truth - even when people claim it so... Think web responsibility. =)
Don’t take this the wrong way, as we ALL enjoy your blog! Keep up the great work!!! =)
Anonymous,
It took a while to decide whether I would keep your comment or delete it. The reason I was thinking of deleting it was not because of what you said, but that you said it anonymously. Why hide from the "truth."
My blog is not a "news" blog, and what is important is the message and it's ability to empower my readers.
My readers will determine what is true and what is false, and most of all, what is important.
The truth is the truth and I, of all people, will never hide from it.
But, I must ask, why "anonymous?"
