A blind man is telling his friends about how he’s able to sky-dive.

“The parachute is packed and put on me,” he explains. “Then I’m positioned at the door, and the pilot tells me when to jump.”

“But how do you know when you’re gonna land?” asks one friend.

“Simple,” replies the blind man. “The dog’s leash goes slack.”
