One day, Josh decided to take a trip from Montreal (where he lived) to that great city of Boston.. He went to the airport to buy a ticket and found out the cost was $200 one-way. Well Josh only had $100 on him. But he saw a sign saying half-fare for persons under 18. Well, now Josh had just turned 18 three months ago so he lied..a bit. And got a ticket for $100.
Well during they flight, he was making small conversation with the passenger seated next to him. And , in the course of their little chat, he mentioned the 18th birthday party his friends had for him.
A stewardess happened to over-hear that part of the conversation and reported back to the pilot. The pilot checked his passenger list and noticed that Josh had only paid half-fare.
A few minutes later, the stewardess asked Josh if he had $50 with him. Josh, slightly embarrassed, replied, "I only have $10, enough for a bus and a coffee after we arrive in Boston.. Why do you ask?"
Stewardess,"I wanted to know if you wanted to buy this used parachute."
Josh, "Whatever for?"
Stewardess, "You only paid half-fare and you're over 18. We are half-way on our flight and you have to leave now." |
