Tony & Jiil

Tonyl and his wife Jill  go to the Duxford air show every year, 

And every year Tony would say, " Jill, I'd like to ride in that helicopter "

Jill always replied, " I know Tony, but that helicopter ride is fifty quid, 

And fifty quid is fifty quid! "

One year Tony and Jill went to the air show, and Tony said, 

" Jill, I'm 80 years old. 

If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance "

To this, Jill replied, 

" Tony that helicopter ride is fifty quid, and fifty quid is fifty 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 don't say a word I won't charge you a penny!   But if you utter even a word it's fifty quid. " 

 Tony and Jill agreed and up they went.   The pilot made 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 Tony and said,   " By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't.   I'm impressed! "  

Tony replied,    " Well, to tell you the truth……………………….    I almost said something when Jill fell out,   But you know,   Fifty quid is fifty quid! "
