An old man named Harold and his wife, Gert had
gone to the state fair every year since they'd been married. And every year there was something that Harold wanted to try,
but Gert wouldn't let him because of the cost. So, when they went this year and Harold saw that they had helicopter rides,
he was adamant.
"Gert, I want to ride in the helicopter!"
"No, Harold! It costs $50 dollars and it's too
much!"
"$50 dollars is not expensive for a helicopter ride, Gert!"
"$50 dollars is $50 dollars,
Harold!"
They went on like this until the pilot overheard them and said, "I'll tell you what folks, I'll let you
take a helicopter ride for free if both of you don't make a peep during the ride."
So, they agreed and hopped in.
The pilot did all he could to make them scream or cry out, but there was no sound from the old couple. When he landed, he was
suprised to see that only Harold was left in the back seat.
"Where is your wife?" asked the pilot.
"Oh, she fell
out a long time ago," said Harold.
Astonished, the pilot asked, "Why didn't you say something?!"
Harold replied,
"Are you kidding? Afterall, like Gert said, $50 dollars is $50 dollars!"
