Default the skinflints.

Morris and his wife Esther went to the state fair every
year and every year Morris would say, "Esther, I'd like
to ride in that airplane."

Esther always replied, "I know Morris, but that airplane
ride costs 50 dollars, and 50 dollars is 50 dollars."

One year Morris and Esther went to the fair and Morris
said, "Esther, I'm 85 years old. If I don't ride that
airplane I might never get another chance."

Esther replied, "Morris, that airplane ride costs 50
dollars, and 50 is dollars is 50 dollars."

The pilot overheard them and said, "Folks, I'll make you
a deal. I'll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay
quiet for the entire ride and not say one word, I won't
charge you; but if you say one word it's 50 dollars."

Morris and Esther agreed and up they went.

The pilot did all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and
dives, but not a word was heard. He did all his tricks
over again, but still not a word. When they landed, the
pilot turned to Morris and said, "By golly, I did
everything I could think of to get you to yell out,
but you didn't."

Morris replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when
Esther fell out, but 50 dollars is 50 dollars."
