Now, before I share this with you all.. I just want
you to know that I don't want to be in contention for the sick puppy
award... I think that should be kept between Lil, John and
Wayne!! LOL!!
Ten Dollahs
Stumpy Grinder and his wife
Martha were from Portland,
Maine. Every year they went to the Portland
Fair, and
every year Stumpy said " Ya know Mahtha, I'd like ta get
a ride in that theah aihplane." and every year Martha
would say
"I know Stumpy, but that ihplane ride costs ten
dollahs.... and ten
dollahs is ten dollahs." So Stumpy
says " By Jeebers Mahtha,
I'm 71 yeahs old, if I don't go
this time I may nevah go." Martha
replies " Stumpy, that
there aihplane ride is ten dollahs...and ten
dollahs is ten
dollahs."
So the pilot overhears them and
says " 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 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 get you to
holler out,
but you didn't."
And Stumpy replies " Well, I was
gonna say something
when Mahtha fell out...but ten dollahs is ten
dollahs!
