Ask an English joke

Mr. Johnson has never been on an airplane before. He has read many reports about airplane accidents. Therefore, one day, when a friend suggested taking him for a ride in his own small plane, Mr. J was very worried about accepting the invitation. Finally, his friend persuaded him that it was very safe and Mr. J boarded the plane. His friend started the engine and began to slide on the airport runway. Mr. J heard that the most dangerous part of the flight is take-off and landing, so he was very scared and closed his eyes. A minute or two later, he opened his eyes again, looked out of the window and said to his friend, "Look at those people down there. They look as small as ants, don't they? " "Those are ants," his friend answered. "We are still on the ground."
