MORRIS AND HIS WIFE ESTHER WENT TO THE STATE FAIR EVERY YEAR. EVERY YEAR, MORRIS WOULD SAY, ESTHER, I 'D LIKE TO RIDE IN THAT HELICOPTER AND ESTHER ALWAYS REPLIED, I KNOW MORRIS, BUT THAT HELICOPTER RIDE COSTS $50 DOLLARS AND $50 DOLLARS IS $50 DOLLARS. A FEW YEARS LATER, ESTHER AND MORRIS WENT TO THE FAIR AND MORRIS SAID, ESTHER, I'M 85 YEARS OLD. IF I DON'T RIDE THAT HELICOPTER NOW, I MIGHT NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE. AND AGAIN ESTHER REPLIED, MORRIS, THAT HELICOPTER IS $50 DOLLARS AND $50 DOLLARS IS $50 DOLLARS. THE PILOT OVERHEARD THE COUPLE'S DISCUSSION AND SAID FOLKS, I'LL MAKE YOU A DEAL. I'LL TAKE THE BOTH OF YOU FOR A RIDE IF YOU CAN STAY COMPLETELY 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. SO, MORRIS AND ESTHER AGREED AND UP THEY WENT. THE PILOT DID ALL KINDS OF FANCY MANEUVERS BUT NOT A WORD WAS HEARD IN THE BACK OF THE PLANE. 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 AND I'M REALLY IMPRESSED! THEN MORRIS REPLIED, WELL CAPTAIN, I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING WHEN ESTHER FELL OUT, BUT $50 DOLLARS IS $50 DOLLARS. (Sorry for the caps.)
