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 in 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 and, if you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say a word, I won't charge you! If you say one word, however, you'll pay the fifty dollars."
Morris and Esther agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers. He did his daredevil tricks over and over again. Still, not a word from Morris or Esther.
When they landed, the pilot turned to Morris and said, "By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out. You didn't say a thing and I'm really impressed!"
Morris replied, "Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Esther fell out but, like she's always said, fifty dollars is fifty dollars."
