50 dollars Is 50 dollars!
Buddy and his wife Edna would go to the state fair every year.
… and every year Buddy would say, ‘Edna, I want to ride in that helicopter.
And Edna would always say, ‘I know Buddy, but that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.
One year Buddy and Edna went to the fair and Buddy said, “Edna, I’m 85 years old. If I don’t get on that helicopter, I may never get another chance.
“Dude, the helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars,” Edna replied.
The pilot overheard the couple and said, “Guys, I’m going to make you a deal, I’m going to take you both for a ride, and if you’re quiet the whole ride and don’t say a word, I’m not going to charge you a dime! But if you say one word, fifty dollars.
Buddy and Edna agreed and got on the plane.
The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, but not a word was heard. He did his daring tricks over and over again, but still not a word.
When they landed, the pilot turned to Buddy and said, “Wow, I did everything I could to get you to scream, but you didn’t. I’m impressed!
Buddy replied, “To tell you the truth, I almost said something when Edna went down, but you know…”
“Fifty dollars is fifty dollars!”
They Say Men Don’t Listen To Women
A man asked his wife what she wanted for her 40th birthday.
“I’d like to be six again,” she replied.
On the morning of her birthday, he woke her up early and they went to a local amusement park.
What a day! He took her on every ride in the park: Death Slide, Scream Loop, Wall of Horror, everything! Wow!
Five hours later, dizzy and sick to his stomach, he staggered out of the amusement park.
They went straight to McDonald’s and her husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate shake.
Then they went to the movies – it was the latest Disney movie and what an amazing adventure!
Finally, she returned home with her husband and collapsed on the bed.
Her husband leaned over and asked her affectionately: “So, honey, what was it like to be six years old again?”
The woman looked up wearily and said;
“You fool, I meant my dress size.”
The moral of the story is this:
If a woman speaks and a man is really listening, he will still misunderstand.
