Value of Money

Hello friends,
Here is another of Lalit Narayan's hilarious stuff.
Its a good way to end Valentine Day's exchanges.

Radheshyam


One day, old man Jeetu and his wife Radhika went to the Illinois State Fair.
There is this man selling plane rides in his single prop show plane for $10 per person.
Jeetu looks to Radhika and says, "Radhika, I think I really should try that."
Radhika replies, "I know you want to Jeetu, but we have a lot of bills, and you know the money is tight, and $10 is $10."
So Jeetu goes without.
Over the next few years they return every year, and the same thing, Jeetu wants to ride, but Radhika says no money.
Finally, when Jeetu and Radhika are both about 70 years old, Jeetu looks to Radhika, and says, "Radhika, I'm 70 now, and I don't know if I'll ever get the chance again, so I just have to have a ride in that there airplane."
Radhika replies in the same old fashion, and Jeetu kind of slumps down.
The pilot is standing near by and overhears the conversation... The pilot pipes up, "Excuse me folks, I couldn't help but hear your situation, and I have a deal for you. I'll take both of you up together, and if you can both make the entire trip without saying a word, or even making the slightest sound, I'll give the ride for free. But if either of you make a sound, its $10 each."
Well, Radhika and Jeetu look at each other, and agree to take the ride.
The pilot takes them up, and starts to do loop de loops, twists, dives, climbs and spins. No sound. The pilot lands the plane, looks back at Jeetu and says, "Sir, I have to hand it to ya, you didn't make even the slightest sound and that was my best stuff."
Jeetu looks back at the pilot and says, "Well, I was gonna say something when Radhika fell out, but $10 is $10
