Buddy and his wife Edna would go to the state fair every year.\n
\u2026 and every year Buddy would say, \u2018Edna, I want to ride in that helicopter.\n
And Edna would always say, \u2018I know Buddy, but that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.\n
One year Buddy and Edna went to the fair and Buddy said, \u201cEdna, I\u2019m 85 years old. If I don\u2019t get on that helicopter, I may never get another chance.\n
\u201cDude, the helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars,\u201d Edna replied.\n
The pilot overheard the couple and said, \u201cGuys, I\u2019m going to make you a deal, I\u2019m going to take you both for a ride, and if you\u2019re quiet the whole ride and don\u2019t say a word, I\u2019m not going to charge you a dime! But if you say one word, fifty dollars.\n
Buddy and Edna agreed and got on the plane.\n
The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, but not a word was heard. He did his daring tricks over and over again, but still not a word.\n
When they landed, the pilot turned to Buddy and said, \u201cWow, I did everything I could to get you to scream, but you didn\u2019t. I\u2019m impressed!\n
Buddy replied, \u201cTo tell you the truth, I almost said something when Edna went down, but you know\u2026\u201d\n
\u201cFifty dollars is fifty dollars!\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
