The pilot of an aerobatic biplane landed on
a field; belonging to a scottish farmer; to
make some adjustments to his engine.
While he was tinkering with his machine
he noticed the scotsman and his wife
watching with a great deal of curiosity.
The scotsman asked the pilot how much
he would charge; to give his wife and
him a ride....."Well" said the pilot;
"normally I charge £40 pounds each;
but if you are both completely Quiet
throughout the flight; the ride will
be free of charge"...."If I hear the
least amount of noise; you will pay
the full fare".
The couple Quickly climbed aboard;
and the pilot taxied and took off.
Immediately the pilot proceeded
to put his plane through all of it's
paces: Barrel rolls; stalls; spins;
split s maneuvers : You name
it and he did it.
The couple in the back of the
plane were completely silent
throughout the thirty minute
flight.....Upon landing; the
pilot said "I really have to
hand it to you; for keeping
Quiet through all that"!
"AYE " said the scotsman "but
I'll admit Ye almost heard me
when the wife fell out"!!!
