Every year, a man and his wife Martha went to the State Fair. And every year he would say, "Martha, I'd like to ride in that there airplane." And every year Martha would reply, "I know, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."
Well, he and Martha went to the fair again this year, and he said, "Martha, I'm 71 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get another chance".
Martha replied, "Now, you know that there airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."
The pilot overheard their discussion 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 went.
The pilot performed all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard. He even does a nose dive, pulling up 15 feet above the ground, but still not a word. They land and the pilot turns to the man, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't."
He replied, "Yeah well, I was gonna say something when Martha fell out, ...but ten dollars is ten dollars!"
"Paulie may have moved slow, but it was only because Paulie didn't have to move for anybody."
