This one particular Captain was notorious for falling asleep in flight usually right after takeoff.

All the way till landing.

One time the co-pilot decides to not wake him for landing.

Lands the airplane, taxies to the terminal and is just about to park the airplane at the gate as the terminal building is looming up in the window – the Captain opens one eye and says:

“pull up son, you’re way too low.”

Simply, with F/O nose steering control. Modern ACs have a control on both sides

I work as an aircraft mechanic. One of my jobs would have the flight crew come to the hangar to collect an aircraft that had over nighted for maintenance. One morning, a second f/o came out to the aircraft I was preparing to “launch”. He went up inside and came out muttering and cussing. When I asked him why he explained dispatch had called out two f/o’s for the same aircraft. I told him “I guess that means one of you gets to f/o.”

Don’t ruin the joke by discussing technical stuff. It’s like saying tomatoes don’t talk…
