The Plane Ride
A farmer and his wife went to a fair. The farmer was fascinated by the
airplanes and asked a pilot how much a ride would cost.
"$10 for 3 minutes," replied the pilot.
"That's too much," said the farmer.
The pilot thought for a second and then said, "I'll make you a deal. If you
and your wife ride for 3 minutes without uttering a sound, the
ride will be free. But if you make a sound, you'll have to pay $10."
The farmer and his wife agreed and went for a wild ride--loop-de-loops,
steep dives, etc. After they landed, the pilot said to the farmer, "I want
to congratulate you for not making a sound. You are a brave man."
"Maybe so," said the farmer, "But I gotta tell ya, I almost screamed when
my wife fell out."
The Accident
There was a married couple who was in a terrible accident. The woman's face
was burned severely. The doctor told the husband they couldn't graft any
skin from her body because she was so skinny. The husband then donated some
of his skin; however, the only place suitable to graft skin was from his
buttocks.
The husband requested that no one be told of this, because after all this
was a very delicate matter. After the surgery was completed,
everyone was astounded at the woman's new beauty. She looked more beautiful
than she ever did before! All her friends and relatives just ranted and
raved at her youthful beauty.
She was alone with her husband one day and she wanted to thank him for what
he did. She said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did
for me! There is no way I could ever repay you!"
He replied, "Oh don't worry, Honey, I get plenty of thanks every time your
mother comes over and kisses you on your cheek."
