 Subject: Blind Parachuting
 
	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 and told when to jump.  
My hand is placed on my release ring for me, and out I go".
 	"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".

Subject: peg leg

 
 	A seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and talk turns to their
 adventures on the sea.  The seaman notes that the pirate has a peg-leg, 
a hook, and an eye patch.  The seaman asks "So, how did you end up with
the peg-leg?"
 	
 	The pirate replies "We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept
 overboard into a school of sharks.  Just as my men were pulling me out,
 a shark bit my leg off"
 	
 	"Wow!" said the seaman. "What about your hook"? "Well...",
 replied the pirate, "We were boarding an enemy ship and were battling
 the other sailors with swords.  One of the enemy cut my hand off."
 	
 	"Incredible!" remarked the seaman.  "How did you get the
 eyepatch"? "A seagull dropping fell into my eye.", replied the pirate.
"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor asked incredulously.
 	
 	"Well...", said the pirate, "...it was my first day with the hook."
