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
am
85
years
old.
If
I
don't
ride
that
helicopter
now,
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,
"I'll
make
you
a
deal.
I
will
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
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."
