Articles: Time Pass | Ten Bucks Is Tem Bucks
- Prof. 00782 Maverick
| |
John and his wife, a very talkative couple, attended the Air-Show every year, where they people could ride in a stunt plane. Each year, John would say,
'Boy, I'd like to ride in a stunt-plane.'
And every year, his wife would say, 'I know, Johnny, but that ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars.'
Then, finally one year, John and his wife attended the fair and John said, 'I'm 80 years old. If I don't take that stunt plane ride this year, I may never get another chance.'
'Remember, John, that plane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars,' replied his wife.
The pilot overheard them and said, 'Folks, I'll make you a deal. I'd like to take you both up for a free ride, but you both talk so much! I need to concentrate while I'm doing the stunts. Here's a deal: If you can both stay quiet for the entire ride and not say one word, I won't charge you, but if you say one word it'll cost you ten dollars.'
John and his wife agree and up they go. The pilot does all kinds of twists and turns, but not a word is uttered by John or his wife. He does all his tricks over again, but still not a word. They land and the pilot turns to John.
'By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't.'
John replied, 'Well, I was gonna say something when she fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars.'
