One day old man Brian and his wife Betty went to the Illinois State Fair.


There is this man selling plane rides in his single prop show plane for $10 per person.

Brian looks to Betty and says, "Betty, I think I really should try that."


Betty replies, "I know you want to Brian, but we have a lot of bills, and you know the money is tight, and $10 is $10."



So Brian goes without. Over the next few years they return every year, and the same thing, Brian wants to ride, but Betty says no money.
(we all know she says the same thing over and over)


Finally, when Brain and Betty are both about 70 years old, Brian looks to Betty, and says, "Betty, I'm 70 now, and I don't know if I'll ever get the chance again, so I just have to have a ride in that there airplane."



Betty replies in the same old fashion (as she does), and Brian kind of slumps down. The pilot is standing near by and overhears the conversation...


The pilot pipes up, "Excuse me folks, I couldn't help but hear your situation, and I have a deal for you.

I'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'll give the ride for free.

But if either of you make a sound, its $10 each." Well, Betty and Brian look at each other, and agree to take the ride.


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 Brian and says,

"Sir, I have to hand it to ya, you didn't make even the slightest sound and that was my best stuff."

Brian looks back at the pilot and says,

"Well, I was gonna say something when Betty fell out, but $10 is $10!
