Morris and his wife
Esther went to the state fair every year, and every year Morris would say,
"Esther, I'd like to ride in that helicopter". Esther always replied, "I know
Morris, but that helicopter ride is fifty dollars -- and fifty dollars is
fifty dollars".
One year Esther and
Morris went to the fair, and Morris said, "Esther, I'm 85 years old. If I
don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance. "Esther
replied, "Morris that helicopter is fifty dollars -- and fifty dollars is
fifty dollars".
The pilot overheard the
couple and said, "Folks, I'll make you a deal. I'll take the both of you for a
ride, If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say a word I won't
charge you! But if you say one word, it's fifty dollars."
Morris and Esther agreed
and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, but not a word
was heard. He did his daredevil tricks over and over again, but still not a
word
When they landed, the
pilot turned to Morris and said, "By golly, I did everything I could to get
you to yell out, but you didn't. I'm Impressed!"
Morris replied, "Well,
to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Esther fell out, but you
know -- fifty dollars is fifty dollars."
