The fifty pounds deal
Posted: Tue Dec 13, 2011 7:40 pm
Bill and his wife Betty go to the country fair every year, And every
year Bill would say, " Betty, I'd like to ride in that helicopter "
Betty always replied, " I know Bill, but that helicopter ride costs
fifty pounds, And fifty pounds is fifty pounds! "
One year Bill and Betty went to the fair, and Bill said, " Betty, I'm
75 years old. If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get
another chance "
To this, Betty replied, " Bill that helicopter ride costs fifty pounds,
and fifty pound is fifty pounds "
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 pounds. "
Bill and Betty 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 Bill and said, " By golly, I did
everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't. I'm
impressed! "
Bill replied, " Well, to tell you the truth I almost said something
when Betty fell out, But you know, Fifty pounds is fifty pounds! "
