An old Jewish couple, 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."

Esther replied, "Morris that helicopter 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 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 my Esther fell out, but you know -- fifty dollars is fifty dollars."
