Danny and his wife Kathy go to the state fair every year. And every year Danny would say, "Kathy, I'd like to ride in that helicopter."
Kathy always replied, "I know Danny, but that helicopter ride is fifty bucks, And fifty bucks is fifty bucks!"
One year Danny and Kathy went to the fair, and Danny said, "Kathy, I'm 75 years old. If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance."
To this, Kathy replied, "Danny, that helicopter ride is fifty bucks, and fifty bucks is fifty bucks."
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 don't say a word I won't charge you a penny! But if you say one word it's fifty dollars."
Danny and Kathy agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, 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 Danny and said, "By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't. I'm impressed!"
Danny replied, "Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Kathy fell out. But you know, Fifty bucks is fifty bucks!"
