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 50 dollars and 50 dollars is 50 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 50 dollars and 50 dollars is 50 dollars.
The pilot over heard 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 50 dollars.
Morris and Esther agreed and up they went. the pilot did all kinds of fancy manoeuvres, but not a word was heard.
he did his dare devil 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 I almost said something when Esther fell out, but, you know, 50 dollars is 50 dollars.
