Susan and Robert, a pair of cheap skates if ever there was a pair, lived in the mid west, and had been married years. Robert had always want to go flying. The desire would deepen each time a barn stormer flew into town to offer rides. Robert would ask, and Susan would say, "No way, ten dollars is ten dollars."
The years went pay, and Robert figured he didn't have much longer, so he got Susan out to the show, explaining," It's free to watch, let's at least watch." And once he got there the feeling become real strong. Susan and Robert started an arguement.
The Pilot, between flights, overheard, listened to their problem, and said, "I'll tell you what, I'll take you up flying, and if you don't say a word the ride is on me, but if you make one sound, just one sound ,you pay me ten dollars."
So off they flew. The Pilot doing as many rolls, and dives as he could--heading to the ground as fast as the plane could go, and pulling out of the dive at just the very last second. Not a word. Finally he admited defeat and went back the airport.
"I'm surprised, why didn't you say anything?"he asked.
Robert smiled ,looked at the pilot and said-
"Well I almost said something when Susan fell out, but hell, ten dollars is ten dollars."
