50 dollars is 50 dollars

Morris and his wife Maggy went to the state fair every year and every year Morris would say, "Maggy, I'd like to ride in that airplane."

Maggy always replied, "I know Morris, but that airplane ride costs 50 dollars, and 50 dollars is 50 dollars."

One year Morris and Maggy went to the fair and Morris said, "Maggy, I'm 85 years old. If I don't ride that airplane I might never get another chance."

Maggy replied, "Morris, that airplane ride costs 50 dollars, and 50 is dollars is 50 dollars."

The pilot overheard them and said, "Folks, I'll make you a deal. I'll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say one word, I won't charge you; but if you say one word it's 50 dollars."

Morris and Maggy agreed and up they went.

The pilot did all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word was heard. He did all his tricks over again, but still not a word. When they landed, the pilot turned to Morris and said, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't."

Morris replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when Maggy fell out, but 50 dollars is 50 dollars."
