a couple went to the fair every year. every year the husband wanted to go on the helicopter ride, and every year after looking at the 50 dollar price, the wife would say "50 dollars is 50 dollars, we can't afford it".

this went on for years. finally one year the husband said "i'm getting old, i better go on that helicopter ride this year, or I probably will never go." again the wife said "50 dollars is 50 dollars, and we can't afford it."

the pilot heard this, and said "I tell you what, if you don't make any noise, no matter what maneuver i use, you can have the ride for free. but if you make any noise at all, you owe me the 50."

they couldn't pass this up, so they both got on board the helicopter, and the pilot took off.

After some very hair raising maneuver, the pilot was impressed. they hadn't made a noise.

he turned to the husband and said "i am impressed! you did very well"

the husband said "thanks, it was touch and go there when my wife fell out of the helicopter on that last maneuver, but 50 dollars is 50 dollars."

Had to share this, thought it was pretty funny. :)
