Sightless Parachuting
A blind man was describing his favorite sport: parachuting.... When
the reporter asked how he was able to accomplished such a great feat, he
said he couldn't do it without the assistance of others:
"I am placed by the open doorway," said the blind man, "and told
when to jump. I just put my hand on the release ring and out I go"
"But how do you know when you are going to land?" asked the reporter.
"I have acquired a very keen sense of smell and I can easily detect the
trees and grass when I am 300 feet from the ground" he answered.
The reporter then asked: "But how do you know when to lift your legs for
the final arrival on the ground?"
The blind man quickly answered "Oh, the dog's leash goes slack."
