From my Mom again...

>>
>> 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."
