Self Control
There was a stunt pilot who was selling rides in his single engine airplane. One day he got into an argument with a pastor who insisted on taking his wife along at no extra charge. Not wanting to miss out on a chance to make some cash, the pilot said, ‘‘I’ll take you both up for the price of one if you promise not to utter a sound during the entire flight. If you make any noise, the price is doubled.’’ The deal was made and they climbed aboard the plane.
The pilot quickly proceeded to put the plane through all sorts of stunts and maneuvers designed to make the bravest person tremble. But the passengers didn’t make a sound. Exhausted, the pilot finally landed. As the pastor climbed out, the pilot said, ‘‘I made moves up there that frightened even me and yet you never said a word. You must have incredible self-control.’’ The pastor thanked the pilot and then said, ‘‘I must admit that there was one time when you almost had me.’’ ‘‘When was that?’’ asked the pilot. To which the man replied, ‘‘When my wife fell out of the plane!’’
