One day old man Stumpy and his wife Martha went to the Illinois State Fair.  There is this man selling plane rides in his single prop show plane for &#036;10 per person.  Stumpy looks to Martha and says, &quot;Martha, I think I really should try that.&quot;  Martha replies, &quot;I know you want to Stumpy, but we have a lot of bills, and you know the money is tight, and &#036;10 is &#036;10.&quot;  So Stumpy goes without. Over the next few years they return every year, and the same thing, Stumpy wants to ride, but Martha says no money.<br /><br />Finally, when Stumpy and Martha are both about 70 years old, Stumpy looks to Martha, and says, &quot;Martha, I&#39;m 70 now, and I don&#39;t know if I&#39;ll ever get the chance again, so I just have to have a ride in that there airplane.&quot;  Martha replies in the same old fashion, and Stumpy kind of slumps down.  The pilot is standing near by and overhears the conversation...<br /><br />The pilot pipes up, &quot;Excuse me folks, I couldn&#39;t help but hear your situation, and I have a deal for you.  I&#39;ll take both of you up together, and if you can both make the entire trip without saying a word, or even making the slightest sound, I&#39;ll give the ride for free.  But if either of you make a sound, its &#036;10 each.&quot; Well, Martha and Stumpy look at each other, and agree to take the ride.<br /><br />The pilot takes them up, and starts to do loop de loops, twists, dives, climbs and spins.  No sound. The pilot lands the plane, looks back at Stumpy and says, &quot;Sir, I have to hand it to ya, you didn&#39;t make even the slightest sound and that was my best stuff.&quot;  Stumpy looks back at the pilot and says, &quot;Well, I was gonna say something when Martha fell out, but &#036;10 is &#036;10&#33;&quot;
