IJMC - Ten Dollars Equals Ten Dollars

Don't worry, the IJMC is not about to start teaching you math or logic. 
Just a cute little story about a poor guy who really wanted to go 
barnstorming. Poor guy.                                           -dave






Sue and Bob, a pair of tightwads, lived in the mid west and had been
married for years. Bob had always wanted to go flying. The desire
deepened each time a barnstormer flew into town to offer rides. Bob
would ask and Sue would say, "No way, ten dollars is ten dollars." 
The years went by, and Bob figured he didn't have much longer, so he got
Sue out to the show, explaining, "It's free to watch, let's at least
watch." Once he got there the feeling became overwhelming. Sue and Bob
got into an argument. 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,
you pay 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 would
go and pulling out of the dive at just the very last second. Not a word.
Finally he admitted defeat and went back the airport. The Pilot said,
"I'm surprised, why didn't you say anything?" Bob replied, "Well I
almost said something when Sue fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars."
