Stumpy Jizzy and his wife Martha were from the Northern Cape. Every year they went to the fair in Bloemfontein and every year Jizzy said, "Ya know, Mahtha, I'd like ta get a ride in that theah aihplane." And every year, Martha would say "I know, Jizzy, but that aihplane ride costs ten zar .. and ten zar is ten zar."
So one year Jizzy says, "By Jeebers, Mahtha, I'm 71 yeahs old, and if I don't go this time I may nevah go." Martha replies, "Jizzy, that there aihplane ride is ten zar ... and ten zar is ten zar."
So the pilot overhears then and says, "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, then I won't charge you. But just ONE WORD and it's ten zar."
They agree and up they go... the pilot does all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard. He does it one more time, and there is still no word... so he lands.
He turns to Jizzy as they come to a stop and says, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to holler out, but you didn't."
And Jizzy replies "Well, I was gonna say something when Mahtha fell out ... but ten zar is ten zar."
