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 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 DARE DEVIL 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 I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING WHEN ESTHER FELL OUT, BUT 50 DOLLARS IS 50 DOLLARS
