Jack and his wife Diane went to the local country fair every year, and every year Jack would say,
'Diane, I'd like to ride in that helicopter.
'Diane always replied, 'I know Jack, but that helicopter ride is ninety quid , and ninety quid is ninety quid'
One year Diane and Jack went to the fair, and Jack said,
'Diane, I'm 85 years old. If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance.'
To this, Diane replied, 'Jack that helicopter ride is ninety quid, and ninety quid is ninety quid.'
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 not say a word, I won't charge you!
But if you say one word, it's ninety quid.'
Jack and Diane agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of fancy manoeuvres,
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 Jack and said,
'By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't. I'm impressed!'
Jack replied, 'Well to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Diane fell out,
but you know,..... ninety quid is ninety quid!'
