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.“
