George and Myrtle are at the local country show. Also at the show is Helicopter joy rides for $50. George says to Myrtle, "You know I've always wanted to go up in one of those Heliocopter things."
Myrtle replies "But $50 is $50, and that's a lot of money to us."
"But dear," George replies, "it's not everyday that one of those Heliocopter things are here!!"
Myrtle replies "George, $50 is $50, and that's still a lot of money to us."
So George walks away, miffed that he doesn't get to go for a ride in one.
The following year, they're back at the local country show, and the Helicopter is there again.
George says to Myrtle, "You know I've always wanted to go up in one of those Heliocopter things."
Myrtle replies "But $50 is $50, and that's a lot of money to us."
"But dear," George replies, "it's not everyday that one of those Heliocopter things are here!!"
Myrtle replies "George $50 is $50, and that's still a lot of money to us."
The Pilot who happened to be standing nearby, heard the conversation, and says "Weren't you here last year?"
To which George replies, "Why yes we were."
The Pilot says, "Tell you what, I'll take you both up, for free, but if you make a sound, it'll cost you $50, OK"
George looks at Myrtle with a wishful smile, Myrtle replies, "OK then."
So up they go, the pilot does barrel rolls, loops, dives, every possible thing that the helicopter can do, he throws at them.
After they land the pilot said, "I could have sworn that I'd have gotten a sound out of you, doing all them things"
George replied "You nearly did, specially when Myrtle fell out, But $50 is $50!!!!!!"
