A Ten Dollar Joke Stumpy Grider and his Wife Martha always went to the Fair, and every year Stumpy said "Ya know Martha I'd like to get a ride in that airplane". An every year Martha would say, "Ah know, Stumpy, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars...and ten dollars is ten dollars". So Stumpy says "By Jeebers Martha, I'm 71 years old, if I don't go this time I may never go". Martha replies, "Stumpy, that air plane ride is ten dollars...and ten dollars is ten dollars". So the pilot overhears them and says, "Folks, I'll make you a deal, I'll take you both up for a ride, and if you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say ONE word, I won't charge you, but just one word and it's ten dollars". They agree and up they go...the pilot does all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard; he does it one more time, still nothing...so he lands. He turns to Stumpy as they come to a stop and says, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to make you hollar out, but you didn't!" And Stumpy replies, "Well, Ah was gonna say something when Martha fell out...but ten dollars is ten dollars!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Bjork (60/20) A View from the Lighter Side Parkinsaw, MI (An Imaginary Place for PWP) www.mikeauldridge.com/parknsaw.htm
