    Morris and his wife Esther.

    Morris and his wife Esther went to the local air show 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 £50. And £50 is £50."

    One year when Esther and Morris went to the air show, Morris said "Esther, I'm 85 years old. If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get a chance."

    Esther replied, "Morris, you know that helicopter ride is £50. And £50 is £50."

    The Pilot overheard the couple and said, "I'll make you a deal. I'll take 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 £50."

    Morris and Esther agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of fancy manoeuvres, 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 Morris and said, "By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out 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 £50 is £50!"
