A plane bound for LA from Seattle is diverted and lands in Sacramento.
The flight attendant announces that there will be a 50 minute layover.
He further gives the okay for travelers to deboard the plane and stretch their legs.
Most of the people leave the plane except for one blind woman.
As the captain comes out of the cockpit he recognizes the woman sitting in her usual seat.
Beneath her feet is her trusty seeing-eye dog.
The captain says, "Hello, Kathy! Aren't you going to get off? We have almost an hour before resuming the flight."
"No thanks. I think I'll just stay put," she replies. "But would you be so kind as to take my dog for a little walk?" . . .

Now you've got to PICTURE THIS . . . the people inside the terminal freeze in their tracks as they notice their pilot (forgetting to remove his sunglasses) stepping out onto the concourse with that dog!!

I am sure there were many folks who booked new flights!!
Ha!

Things learned around the henhouse...
-three roosters do not provide for henhouse harmony...
-you can get used to the crowing at all hours...mostly...
-chickens are happy with fresh water, feed, and safety from racoons...
-there really is one rooster who rules the roost...
-being the third rooster on the totem pole is worse than having two very mean older brothers...
-sooner or later someone has got to clean up the mess...
-chickens are truly creatures of habit...
-getting "free baby chicks" does not mean raising chickens is profitable...
