MORRIS AND HIS WIFE ESTHER WENT TO THE STATE FAIR
EVERY YEAR, AND EVERYYEAR
MORRIS WOULD SAY, "ESTHER, I 'D LIKE TO RIDE IN THAT HELICOPTER".

ESTHER ALWAYS REPLIED ," I KNOW MORRIS, BUT THAT
HELICOPTER RIDE IS 50 DOLLARS AND 50 DOLLARS IS 50 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 50
DOLLARS AND 50 DOLLARS IS 50 DOLLARS."

THE PILOT OVERHEARD THE COUPLE AND SAID," FOLKS
I'LL MAKE YOU A DEAL.
I'LLTAKE THE BOTH OF YOU FOR A RIDE. IF YOU CAN
STAY QUIET FOR THEENTIRE
RIDE AND NOT SAY A WORD, I WON'T CHARGE YOU! BUT IF YOU SAY ONE WORD,IT'S 50 DOLLARS."

MORRIS AND ESTHER AGREED AND UP THEY WENT. THE
PILOT DID ALL KINDS OF FANCY
MANEUVERS, BUT NOT A WORD WAS HEARD. HE DID HIS
DARE DEVIL TRICKS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, BUT STILL NOT A WORD.

WHEN THEY LANDED, THE PILOT TURNED TO MORRIS AND
SAID, "BY GOLLY, I DIDEVERYTHING I COULD TO GET YOU TO YELL OUT, BUT YOU DIDN'T. I'M IMPRESSED!"

MORRIS REPLIED" WELL I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING
