Bill and his wife Blanche went to the state fair every year,



And every year Bill would say,



" Blanche, I'd like to ride in that helicopter "



Blanche always replied,



" I know, Bill, but that helicopter ride is fifty bucks,



and fifty bucks is fifty bucks! "



One year Bill and Blanche went to the fair, and Bill said,



" Blanche, I'm 85 years old.



If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance "



To this, Blanche replied,



" Bill that helicopter ride is fifty bucks, and fifty bucks is fifty bucks "



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 don't say a word I won't charge you a penny!



But if you say one word it's fifty dollars. "



Bill and Blanche agreed and up they went.



The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, but not a word was heard.



He did his daredevil tricks,



but still not a word...



When they landed, the pilot turned to Bill and said,



" By golly , I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't.



I'm impressed! "



Bill replied,





" Well, to tell you the truth



I almost said something when Blanche fell out,



but you know,



Fifty bucks is fifty bucks! "
