Story 26: Yusuke and Keiko

Yusuke and his wife, Keiko went to the state fair every year. Every year, Yusuke would say, "Keiko, I'd like to ride in that there airplane."

And every year, Keiko would say, "I know, Yusuke, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."

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

Keiko replied, "Yusuke, 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."

Yusuke and Keiko 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 Yusuke and said, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't."

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

Story 27: Kuwabara Wins the Lottery

Kuwabara buys a ticket and wins the lottery. He goes to claim it where the man verifies his ticket number.

Kuwabara says, "I want my $20 million."

To which the man replied, "No sir. It doesn't work that way. We give you a million today, and then you'll get the rest spread out for the next 19 years.

Kuwabara said, "I want all my money RIGHT now! I won it, and I want it."

Again the man patiently explains that he would only get a million that day and the rest during the next 19 years.

Kuwabara, furious with the man, screams out, "Look, I WANT MY MONEY! If you're not going to give me my $20 million right now, THEN I WANT MY DOLLAR BACK!''

Story 28: Speed Trap

A state trooper spied a car puttering along at 22 MPH. So he turned on his lights and pulled the driver over. Approaching the car, he noticed that three guys were inside(Jin, Risho, and Gama), and they looked wide-eyed and terribly pale.

The driver, Touya, pleaded with him, "Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?"

"Sir," the officer replies, "You weren't speeding, but driving slower than the speed limit can also be dangerous."

"I beg to differ, Officer, I was doing the speed limit exactly: twenty-two miles an hour!" the ice demon said.

The trooper, chuckling, explained to him that "22" was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, Touya grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out his error.

"But before I let you go, Sir, I have to ask... Is everyone in this car ok? These guys seem awfully shaken."

"Oh, they'll be all right in a minute," Touya said. "We just got off Route 119."

Story 29: Watch Your Mouth

Sakkyo left work one Friday afternoon. Being payday, instead of going home, he stayed out the entire weekend hunting with the boys and spent his entire paycheck. When he finally appeared at home, Sunday night, he was confronted by a very angry wife, Schizuru, and was barraged for nearly two hours with a tirade befitting his actions.
Finally, Schizuru stopped the nagging and simply said to him, "How would you like it if you didn't see me for two or three days?"
To which he replied, "That would be fine with me."
Monday went by and he didn't see his wife.
