Morris and Esther were in their 80's and the state fair was still the highlight of their year. Every year Morris would tell Esther he would like to take a ride in the airplane but she would veto it by saying, "Morris, that plane ride costs $20; and $20 is $20 you know!" Now Morris is 85 and says to Esther, "Look, we're really getting old and if we don't take this plane ride we may never get a chance to do so." Her reply again is, "Morris we shouldn't spend that kind of money; $20 is $20 you know!"
The plane pilot overheard them and said, "I know both of you will enjoy an airplane ride so I'll make a deal with you. We will go for a ride and if you don't say anything, the ride is free but if you say a single word it will cost $20. Is that a deal?" Morris and Esther agreed and got on the plane. Using all his skills, the pilot looped, dived, turned and rolled. After landing the plane the pilot turned to Morris and said, "I'm surprised! I didn't hear a single sound back there." Morris responded, "Well, I almost said something when Esther fell out, but $20 is $20 you know!"
