Edna always replied, ´I know Buddy, but that helicopter ride is fifty bucks, And fifty bucks is fifty bucks´

To this, Edna replied, "Buddy that helicopter ride is fifty bucks, and fifty bucks is fifty bucks´
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 fifty dollars.´
Buddy and Edna agreed and up they went.
