Morris and Esther used to go to the State Fair every year, and Morris always wanted to ride in the helicopter. Each year he would ask Esther, and each year Esther would say:
"Morris, you know the helicopter ride costs $50. Now, let's be sensible. After all, $50 is $50.
Years passed. It was always the same thing. Finally, Morris turns to Esther and says "Esther, I want to ride in that helicopter. I'm 85 years old, and...well, I'm not so young anymore. Please let me take the ride." Esther turns to Morris and says "Morris, the helicopter ride still costs $50. You and I both know $50 is $50.
The helicopter pilot hears them and says "You folks have been out here before. I remember you. Tell you what....if you can keep completely quiet, I'll take you on the ride for free. But, if you utter one word, I'm going to charge you the $50."
They both agree, and Morris and Esther board the 'copter. The pilot takes them up and begins doing flips and sharp banking turns. No sound. He swirls the helicopter, does some twirling stuff...some really dramatic daredevil acts...but still not a word.
When he lands, he looks back over his left shoulder at Morris and says "Well, pardner...I have to give it to you. Not one word, even though I did all my best tricks. I'm impressed." At that point Morris says "Well I was going to say something when Esther fell out, but hey...$50 is $50."

Yes! I had to work hard at that one...but I see the Hi-Matic F is still sitting there. Whassamatta? Nobody wants a nice little rangefinder? Guess I'll have to post another joke or two.
