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 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, I might never get another chance."
Esther replied, "Morris that helicopter is fifty dollars -- and fifty dollars is fifty 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 fifty dollars."
Morris and Esther agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, and not a sound. He did his daredevil tricks over and over , but still not a word. When they landed, the pilot turned toMorris and said, "By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yellout,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."

fifty dollars is fifty dollars and a joke is a joke. I had better laugh. *LOL*
But too bad for the old man, because the $50 was in Esther's purse.
Willow, thanks for the reminder to leave crap on your front porch tonight.
Nym, in reality, he probably held onto the purse, as he shoved her out the door.
bayi, depends what country your in.
I wonder if the pilot tried to charge the old man "wife disposal" fees. My guess is no, because getting rid of a nagging old biddy is priceless.

And guys tend to stick together on these issues.
You know, Badgerbob, I strongly suspect Morris pushed his wife out!
