John and Esther get married back in the late twenties and for their anniversary they go to the county fair. One of the attractions is a plane ride that cost $50. John looks at his wife with pleading eyes saying "Oh, honey can I go"? Esther replies "Gee honey, we just got married, just starting out and ya know 50 dollars is 50 dollars".
And that's how it goes for the next 48 years on their anniversary visit to the fair ~~ John pleads and Esther says "50 dollars is 50 dollars".
Now comes their 50th anniversary and they go to the fair yet again, this time, however, John says with authority, Esther, it's our 50th darn anniversary, I want to ride the plane, who knows how much longer I'm gonna live". Before Esther can reply, the plane owner comes over after hearing his plea and says "Look, I'll take the both of ya for a ride for free on one condition, no matter what, you must remain completely silent, no screaming, no yelling, no nothing or I'm gonna have to charge ya".
So off they go and the pilot takes them for the ride of their life - upside down ~ rightside up ~ flips ~ turns ~~ you name it he does it and not a peep from John & Esther. When they land, the pilot says before getting out, "Well, I'm proud of ya, with all that and not a word from either of you". John replies ~~ "Well, I was half tempted to speak up when Esther fell out but ~~ 50 dollars is 50 dollars"
