Morris & his wife
Posted by Colin in Oz on 15/10/2024, 9:18:05
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."
Yet 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 soon, I might never get another chance."
But Esther still replied, "Morris that helicopter is fifty dollars - and fifty dollars is fifty dollars!"
However, the pilot overheard the couple and said, "Folks, I'll make you a deal. I'll take the both of you up, and if you stay quiet for the entire ride and don't say a word, I won't charge you. If you do say just one word though, it'll be fifty dollars!"
So Morris and Esther agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, but not a word was heard. He did all his daredevil tricks over and over again, but still not a single word.
When they eventually 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
