Stumpy Grinder
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 aihplane ride costs ten dollahs .. and ten
dollahs is ten dollahs."
So one year Stumpy says, "By Jeebers, Mahtha, I'm 71 yeahs old, and if
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 then 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, then 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, and
there is still no word... 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."
