Morris and his wife Esther went to the state fair 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 fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty 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.'
To this, Esther replied, 'Morris that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.'
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 not say a word, I won't charge you! But if you say one word, it's fifty 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 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, fifty dollars is fifty dollars!'

Dear magprob

As Esther fell out she surely yelled , and the pilot must have heard that... Now : who paid her 50 $ ?

Amazing what a bit of gaffer tape and a good hard shove can do!

She did not yell as she fell... $50.00 is $50.00.

You could use that $50 to buy spam. Spam sales rise as consumers trim spending - U.S. business - MSNBC.com

Any wise and prudent person would choose Spam over a helicopter ride, However; this is just a joke. Well, I thought it was but now I'm beginning to wonder. Or, maybe the AMHD crowd is just getting tougher... I don't know. In any event, it really didn't happen... OK? I embellished the truth. Morris and his wife Esther... just a Fig Newton of my halucination.

Money well saved :)

At first I thought it was Morris who fell out of the plane, then I realised it was Esther. Not that it really matters :)

LMAO... this was a great joke. As for the spam, good call!

So is this your truck Mag? :)

No, I have a Mini Spam Van. Gas prices you know.

Spam should help reduce fuel prices because after I consume Spam, my abundance of gas rises dramatically.

Now I thought that was a cute joke and so did my son... but what do I know... I laugh at everything that is funny (or so I think). He truly liked it. He suggested that I go for a helicopter ride... wonder if he'll speak up when I fall out... probably not knowing him. Haven't indulged in Spam since I was 5, a million years ago.

Could be the Sodium Nitrite (for colour and as a preservative) or the spices. I wouldn't know since I fart all the time anyway.
