Fifty bucks is fifty bucks!

“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 this conversation and said,

” Folks, I’ll make you a deal. I’ll take you both up for a ride on one condition. 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’ll cost you fifty dollars.”

Bill and Blanche 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 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!
