Subject: Fwd: FW: Stumpy and the $10.00



 Stumpy and his wife Martha went to the State Fair every
year.  Every year Stumpy would say, "Martha, I'd like to
ride in that there airplane." And every year Martha
would say, "I know, Stumpy, but that airplane ride costs
ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."

One year Stumpy and Martha went to the fair and Stumpy
said, "Martha, I'm 71 years old.  If I don't ride that
airplane this year I may never get another chance."
Martha  replied, "Stumpy, that there airplane ride costs
ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."

The pilot overheard them and said, "Folks, I'll make
you a deal.  I'll take you both up for a ride.  If you
can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say one word,
I won't charge you, but if you say one word it's ten
dollars."  Stumpy and Martha agreed and up they go. The
pilot does all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and
dives, but not a word is heard. He does all his tricks
over again, but still not a word.  They land and the
pilot turns to Stumpy, "By golly, I did everything I
could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't."

Stumpy replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when
Martha fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars."
