George and his wife Esther went to the state fair every year, and every year
George would say, 'Esther, I'd sure like to ride in that helicopter.'
Esther always replied, 'I know George, but that helicopter ride is fifty
dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars!'
One year Esther and George went to the fair, and George said, 'Esther, I'm
92 years old. If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another
chance' To this, Esther replied, 'George 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.'
George 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 George and said, 'By golly, I did
everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't.. I'm impressed!'
George replied, 'Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when
Esther fell out, but you know, fifty dollars is fifty dollars!'
