Morris and his wife Esther went to the local air show every year,
and every year Morris would say, "Esther,Id like to ride in that
helicopter".
Esther always replied, "I know Morris, but that helicopter ride Is £50
quid. And £50 quid is £50 quid".
One year when Esther and Morris went to the air show, Morris said,
"Esther, Im 85 years old. If I dont ride that helicopter, I might
never get another chance."
Esther replied, "Morris you know that helicopter ride is £50 quid.
And £50 quid is £50 quid".
The pilot overheard the couple and said, "Folks Ill make you a deal.
Ill take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for The
entire ride and not say a word I wont charge you! But if you say one word,
its £50 quid."
Morris and Esther agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of fancy
manoeuvres, 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 and said, "By golly, I
did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didnt.
Im impressed!"
Morris replied, "Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said
something when Esther fell out, but you know -- £50 quid is £50
quid.......!"
