A Little Laugh

Two young people decided to get married. The man was pretty quick with his money, while the young lady managed her money closely. When they got married, they both agreed that she would handle the couples finances.

The County fair was in town so for fun, they decided to go and look around. As they walked down the midway looking at all the sites they ran across a sign that said “helicopter rides” the man being intrigued, said “lets go check it out!” the wife not really being enthused and with hesitation, agreed. When they arrived, the husband said how much does a ride in this helicopter cost? The pilot answered and said “fifty bucks” the husband and wife talked about it and decided not to spend the money. The wife said “fifty bucks is fifty bucks and we can spend it better”. So away they went back home.
The next year the County fair was back and again the married couple went, they walked by the same sign for helicopter rides and the wife said “fifty bucks is fifty bucks”.
This went on for years and years as the couple grew older and older. Now at the husband at the age of seventy two and his mate of seventy, again went to the County fair. They walked past the same sign as they have so many years in the past. They walked past the pilot and again the wife said “fifty bucks is fifty bucks” however, this time the pilot joined in the converstaion. The pilot said, ” I will make you a deal. If you two ride in the helicopter and not say a word to each other or me until we land, I will give you the ride for free!” The husband talked to his wife and said, “we are getting up there in years, and we don’t know how many more times we will be able to come out here.” The wife agreed and they got in the helicopter.
The pilot took off with the couple aboard. once in the air the pilot did many stunts with the helicopter trying to make the couple speak. Not a sound was heard for the entire ride. Once landed the pilot was shutting down the engine turned around and said, ” I tried everything I knew how to do to make you talk” then with amazement in his eyes said, “Sir, where is your Wife?” the old man now catching his breath said, ” She fell out on that last big turn you made.” the pilot answerd back saying. “why didn’t you tell me she fell out?” Quickly the old man answered back, “Fifty bucks is Fifty bucks”

Moral….. We all need to have some laughter and fun, even if it costs Fifty bucks.
