$10 is $10
A couple right out of "Maybury RFD", Stumpy and Martha, visited the county fair yearly. Every year Stumpy would say to Martha, "Martha, I sure would like to take that there airplane ride" and Martha would always respond, "I know You would, Stumpy, but, that there airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars.
This went on for many years until finally
one year Stumpy says to Martha, "Martha, I'm nigh onto 60 years old and I don't know how much longer I might be around, I would really like to take that there airplane ride while I still can! Martha replied "Well yes I know You would like to take that ride, but Stumpy, ten dollars is ten dollars.
The pilot overheard all this and said to them "Folks I tell You what, I'll make a deal with You. If both of You can go through the entire airplane ride without saying as much as one word, the ride is free on Me, but, if either of You say as much as one word the ride will cost You ten dollars. "
After some careful thought and discussion Stumpy and Martha got into the airplane and went for the ride. The pilot, being inclined to not loose a fare, Gave Stumpy and Martha a VERY agressive ride, including loops, rolls, dives and other moves that would do the Thunderbirds proud, but, not a word was uttered.
While landing the pilot says to Stumpy, "You know, I really got to hand it to You folks, I tried every stunt in the book to get You folks to say something, but, You didn't say a word. " Stumply replied "Well, I was going to say something on that last loop the loop when Martha fell out of the plane, but, ten dollars is ten dollars"
