Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
Stewart and his wife Barbara go to the county show every year,
And every year Stewart would say,
" Barbara, I'd like to ride in that helicopter "
Barbara always replied,
" I know Stewart, but that helicopter ride is seventy quid,
And seventy quid is seventy quid! "
One year later Stewart and Barbara went to the show, and Stewart said,
" Barbara, I'm 75 years old.
If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance "
To this, Barbara replied,
" Stewart, that helicopter ride is seventy quid , and seventy quid is seventy quid "
The pilot overheard the couple and said,
" Folks I'll make you a deal. I'll take 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 seventy quid. "
Stewart and Barbara 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 Stewart and said,
" By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't..
I'm impressed! "
Stewart replied,
" Well, to tell you the truth
I almost said something when Barbara fell out,
But you know,
seventy quid is seventy quid! "
