Skybluecarp and his wife Mumson went to the state fair every year. Every year Skybluecarp would say, "Mumson, I'd like to ride in that there airplane."
And every year Mumson would say, "I know Skybluecarp, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."
One year Skybluecarp and Mumson went to the fair and Skybluecarp said, "Mumson, I'm 71 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get another chance."
Mumson replied, "Skybluecarp, 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."
Skybluecarp and Mumson agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word was heard. He did all his tricks over again, but still not a word. They landed and the pilot turned to Skybluecarp, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't."
Skybluecarp replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when Mumson fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars."
