Nothing

10 years ago

This post has absolutely nothing to do with nothing. Every year at the country fair there was a stunt pilot that gave rides in his airplane. This elderly couple always passed by and the gentleman, Elmer said Ma, I sure would like to ride in that airplane. Ma said, Elmer that plane ride cost ten dollars and ten dollars is ten dollars. This went on for several years and when Elmer was 85 years old he said Ma. I am not going to be here much longer and I want to ride in that airplane. The price of the ride had gone up to twenty dollars. Ma said Elmer that plane ride cost twenty dollars and twenty dollars is twenty dollars. The pilot overheard this conversation and told the couple I will make you a deal. I will take you up and if you don't make a sound while we are in the air I will cost you nothing. Ma and Elmer got into the airplane and the pilot took off and did several stunts and did not hear a sound. The pilot thought this could cost me some money so he really poured it on with the stunts. No a sound. When they landed the pilot told Elmer I really thought you would scream or yell on that last set of stunts. Elmer said I started to when Ma fell out but forty dollars is forty dollars.
