Bill and his wife Blanche go to the county fair every year, and every
year Bill would say,
" Blanche, I'd like to ride in that helicopter "
Blanche always replied,
" I know Bill, but that helicopter ride is twenty quid,
and twenty quid is twenty quid! "
One year Bill and Blanche went to the fair, and Bill said,
" Blanche, I'm 75 years old.
If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance "
To this, Blanche replied,
" Bill that helicopter ride is twenty quid, and twenty quid is twenty 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 say one word it's twenty quid. "
Bill and Blanche 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 Bill and said,
" By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you
didn't.
I'm impressed! "
Bill replied,

" Well, to tell you the truth I almost said something when Blanche fell
out, but you know,
Twenty quid is twenty quid! "
