Bill & Blanche

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! "
