Silence is Golden

[Nervous Wreck]

George and his wife Fay went to the state fair every year,

And every year George would say,

'Fay, I'd like to ride in that helicopter.'

Fay always replied,

'I know George, but that helicopter ride is fifty dollars,

And fifty dollars is fifty dollars'


One year Fay and George went to the fair, and George said,

'Fay, I'm 85 years old.

If I don't ride that helicopter,

I might never get another chance.'

To this, Fay replied,

'George 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 don't say a word I won't charge you a
penny!

But if you say one word it's fifty dollars.'

George and Fay 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 George and said,

'By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't.

I'm impressed!'


George replied,'Well, to tell you the truth,

I almost said something when Fay fell out,

But you know,

Fifty dollars is fifty dollars!'
