An old man and his wife go to the fair...

*Sorry for long post, but it's worth it*

They come across a stunt helicopter ride. The old man watches in awe as this helicopter does flips and various other tricks.
"I'd love to go do that!" Says the man.
"But dear," says his wife "it's $50 and I want our retirement money to last"
"You're right honey." And the man leaves.
They go the the fair again the following year. Again, the helicopter ride is there. The old man looks at his wife with longing in his eyes.
"Fifty bucks is fifty bucks" says his wife.
He hangs his head and they leave. This goes on for a couple years and each time his wife says "Fifty bucks is fifty bucks"
Then one year the helicopter pilot notice the couple and walks over to them "I've seen you two look at my ride every year and never get on it. Why not."
"Well, sir, the price is a bit steep for our budget."
"Well, in that case how about we make a deal?" The old man looks quizzically "I'll take you up there for free, but the catch is: you can't say a word. One yip or yell and you have to pay up."
The man looks at his wife then back to the pilot "Deal." And his wife sighed.
The old man had a blast. The ride made him feel like a kid again! It was amazing, but he didn't make one peep.
Back on the ground, the pilot says "Wow, I really tried make you scream or say something, but you earned it fair and square."
The old man shrugged "Yeah, I ALMOST said something when Ethel feel out, but...fifty bucks is fifty bucks!"
