I get quite a few joke from my uncle... He is an amazing man who has spent his life in the service of others, both as an educator and in the church... Anyway, he has a great sense of humor and I love him dearly... Many times when he send me a joke I laugh for days about it. They are generally quite dry and are some of hubby's favorites, and they are just the kind of stories and jokes my daddy always told... they are always clean... So, I decided to share some of them with my friends... Here is my first installment:
Morris and his wife Ethel went to the state fair every year, and every year Morris would say, "Ethel, I'd like to ride in that helicopter". Ethel always replied, "I know Morris, but that helicopter ride is fifty dollars -- and fifty dollars is fifty dollars". One year Ethel and Morris went to the fair, and Morris said, "Ethel, I'm 85 years old. If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance." Ethel replied, "Morris that helicopter ride is fifty dollars -- and fifty dollars is fifty dollars". 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 not say a word I won't charge you! But if you say one word, it's fifty dollars." Morris and Ethel agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, 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 Morris and said, "By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't. I'm impressed!" Morris replied, "Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Ethel fell out, but you know -- fifty dollars is fifty dollars."
