Satire For Enjoyment

Fred and his wife Edna went to the state fair every year.
Every year Fred would say, "Edna, I'd like to ride in that
there airplane."

And every year Edna would say, "I know, Fred, but that
airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten
dollars."

 

One year Fred and Edna went to the fair and Fred said,
"Edna, I'm 71 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this
year, I may never get another chance."

 

Edna replied, "Fred, that there airplane ride costs ten
dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."

 

The pilot overheard them and said, "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, I won't
charge you, but if you say one word, it's ten dollars."

Fred and Edna agreed, and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word was heard. He did all his tricks over again, but still not a word.

 

They landed and the pilot turned to Fred. "By golly, I did
everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you
didn't."

 

Fred replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when Edna fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars."
