One day, a very poor old couple went to a fair. A man was offering plane rides, so the husband said to his wife, "Martha, I really want to ride that plane." Martha replied, "I know you do Elmer, but it costs 10 dollars. And 10 dollars is 10 dollars." So they went home.
The next year they went back to the fair and Elmer said again to his wife, "Martha, my days are almost over and I would really like to ride that plane." Martha replied, "I know you do Elmer, but it costs 10 dollars. And 10 dollars is 10 dollars." So they went home.
The next year they went back to the fair and Elmer pleaded again, "Martha I really want to ride that plane." The wife replied again, "I am sorry Elmer but it costs 10 dollars. And 10 dollars is 10 dollars." The pilot of the plane was standing nearby and overheard their conversation. He said to the couple, "Hey I'll tell you what. I will take you for a ride in my plane and fly you around free of charge, but I’ve got a bad headache so you cannot say one word. Not even one peep or I will charge you 10 dollars." The couple took on the offer without hesitation. The pilot did what he said and did numerous tricks and flips and neither of the couple spoke. At the end of the ride, the pilot said, "Well, I did what I said and you did not make one sound."
Elmer replied, " Well, I would have said something when Martha fell off the plane, but 10 dollars is 10 dollars." You can join Unsolved Mysteries and post your own mysteries or
