Thread: The $10 Plane Ride (Humor)

Margaret and her husband Ben went to the State Fair every year. Every year Margaret would say, "Ben, I'd like to ride in that airplane." And every year Ben would say, "I know Margaret, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."

This year Margaret and Ben went to the fair and Margaret said, "Ben, I'm 75 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get another chance." Ben replied, "Margaret, that 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 even one word, I won't charge you. But if either of you say one word it's ten dollars." Margaret and Ben agreed and up they went.

The pilot did 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 Margaret, "You know, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't." Margaret replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when Ben fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars." [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
