The Blind Parachutist
A blind man was describing his favorite sport, parachuting. When asked how this was accomplished, he said that things were all done for him:
- I am placed in the door with my seeing eye dog and told when to jump. My hand is placed on my release ring for me and out I go with the dog.
- But how do you know when you are going to land? - he was asked.
- I have a very keen sense of smell, and I can smell the trees and grass when I am 300 feet from the ground - he answered.
- But how do you know when to lift your legs for the final arrival on the ground? - he was again asked.
He quickly answered:
- Oh, the dog's leash goes slack.
