A professor is sent to darkest Africa to live with a primitive tribe. He
spends years with them, teaching them reading, writing, math and science.

One day the wife of the tribe's chief gives birth to a white child. The
tribe is shocked, and the chief pulls the professor aside and says, "Look
here! You're the only white man we've ever seen and this woman gives
birth
to a white child. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened!"

The professor replied, "No, Chief. You're mistaken. What you have here is
a
natural occurrence, what we in the civilized world call an albino! Look
at
that field over there. All of the sheep are white except for one black
one.
Nature does this on occasion."

The chief was silent for a moment, then said, "Tell you what. You don't
say
anything more about that sheep and I won't say anything more about that
white child."

Good one.

Old one.

Stumpy and his wife Martha went to the state fair every year. Every year Stumpy would say, "Martha, I'd like to ride in that there airplane."
And every year Martha would say, "I know Stumpy, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."

One year Stumpy and Martha went to the fair and Stumpy said, "Martha, I'm 71 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get another chance."

Martha replied, "Stumpy, that there airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."

The pilot overheard them and said, "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 one word, I won't charge you, but if you say one word it's ten dollars."

Stumpy and Martha agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word was heard. He did all his tricks over again, but still not a word. They landed and the pilot turned to Stumpy, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't."

Stumpy replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when Martha fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars."
