50 Dollars

[admin]

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 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 50 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 -- 50 dollars is 50 dollars".
