Two men dressed in pilot's uniforms walk up the aisle of the airplane. Both are wearing dark glasses, one is using a guide dog, and the other is tapping his way along the aisle with a cane. Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin, but the men enter the cockpit, the door closes, and the engines start up. The passengers begin glancing nervously around, searching for some sign that this is just a little practical joke. None is forthcoming. The plane moves faster and faster down the runway, and the people sitting in the window seats realize they're headed straight for the water at the edge of the airport territory. As it begins to look as though the plane will plough into the water, panicked screams fill the cabin. At that moment, the plane lifts smoothly into the air. The passengers relax and laugh a little sheepishly, and soon all retreat into their magazines, secure in the knowledge that the plane is in good hands. In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turns to the other and says, "You know, Bob, one of these days, they're going to scream too late, and we're all going to die."

Good One.
I knew a guy that actually did that. Vic Bingham was his name (now deceased) he was a navigator on Halifax bombers in WWII and after the war flew DC-3's where he and his pilot would pull off the dark glasses & white cane stunt. As he said, not many people had flown in those days so the impact was more dramatic. He also navigated the Argosy cross-Channel car transporters taking vehicles from UK to France and if the weather was foggy they would fly at sea level, pulling up and over ships, scaring their crews in the process.
Imagine doing that in a 737 these days, the health & saftey guys would have a fit
