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 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 manoeuvres, 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!
