George and Aggie lived on the cove just past Harpswell Tickle out on the peninsula. It was early winter and the lower portion of the cove had frozen over. George asked Aggie if she would walk across the frozen part of the cove to the general store and get him some smokes and beer.

Aggie asked George for some money, but he told her, "Nah, just put it on our tab. Old man Stacey won't mind."

So, Aggie walked across the ice, got the smokes and beer at the store and then walked back home across the cove.

When she got home and gave George his smokes and his beer, she asked him, "George, you always tells me not to run up the tab at Stacey's store. Why didn't you just give me some money?"

George replied, "Well, Aggie, girl, I didn't want to send you out there with cash when I wasn't sure how thick the ice was yet!"

Kind of brings a tear to yer eye, don't it?

Every year, Fred and Ethel would spend a day at the State Fair. Every year, Fred would say, "Ethel, I'd like to ride in that airplane."
And every year, Ethel would say, "I know, Fred, but that airplane ride cost ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."

One year, while they were at the fair, Fred said, "Ethel, I'm 75 years old. If I don't have a ride in that airplane this year, I may never get another chance."
"Fred, that airplane ride cost ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars," Ethel replied.

The pilot happened to overhear them and said, "Listen 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 a word, I won't charge you anything. But, if you say one word, then you'll have to pay the ten dollars."

Fred and Ethel agreed, so up they went. The pilot rolled and dove the plane. He made it do twists, stunts and turns. But not a word was heard from the passengers. The pilot repeated the fancy maneuvers again, but still not a word.

When they finally landed, the pilot turned to Fred and said, "Sir, I'm impressed. I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, and yet you never said a word!"
"Well," Fred replied, "I was going to say something when Ethel fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars!"
