Flying Blind A Frenchman, Englishman, and an American are flying in an airplane on a cloudy, storming night when suddenly the plane is struck by lightning. The pilot turns to his three passengers and says, ""The plane's GPS is broken. I need each of you to stick your hand out the door, feel around, and tell me which city we are flying over judging by what you touch."" The Frenchman goes first. He opens the door, puts his hand outside of the door, and brings it in a minute later. ""We're flying over Paris! I could feel the Eiffel Tower!"" The Englishman is next. He sticks his hand outside and draws it back in a minute later. ""I just touched Big Ben! We are just over London!"" Finally, it is the American's turn. He shoves his hand outside the plane and brings it back in immediately. ""We're flying over Detroit. I know because my watch just got stolen.""
