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.
To this, Esther replied, Morris that helicopter ride 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 don`t say a word, I won`t charge you a penny! 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!
