Got Funny

MORRIS AND HIS WIFE, ESTHER WENT TO THE STATE FAIREVERY YEAR.
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.”
A FEW YEARS LATER, ESTHER AND MORRIS WENT TO THE FAIR.
MORRIS SAID, “ESTHER, I’M 85 YEARS OLD.  IF I DON’T
RIDE THAT HELICOPTER NOW,  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. HE 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.  HE
SAID, “BY GOLLY, I DID EVERYTHING I COULD TO GET YOU
TO YELL OUT, BUT YOU DIDN’T. I’M IMPRESSED!”

MORRIS REPLIED, “WELL, I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING
WHEN ESTHER FELL OUT,  BUT 50 DOLLARS IS 50 DOLLARS
