Joke - How much was that again?

Question

A man and woman went to the state fair annually for years. They were never well off so they were very careful how they spent their money at the fair. Usually they just used their money to buy produce or hand made goods from the farmers showing their wares. But the man always wanted to take the helicopter ride to see the fair grounds from the air at night. It only cost five bucks per person but every time he suggested they ride, she would say, I know it’s only five bucks each, but ten bucks is ten bucks.

His annual disappointment did not deter him from trying each time they went. But always the answer was no because after all ten bucks is ten bucks.

One year the pilot overheard their annual exchange and, having no customers at the time, said “I’ll make a deal with you and will take you up for free if you can go through the whole flight without saying a word; but if you speak at all, its full price.” The man’s eyes lit up and reminding his wife how taciturn they both were, she agreed they could take the ride.

Once in the air, the pilot did everything he could to make them speak, doing loop-de-loops, diving perilously close to the ground, rolling the chopper from side to side, and making sudden turns. Nothing he did brought the slightest sound from either of them. Finally, giving up he returned the helicopter to the ground having extended the flight 15 minutes longer than usual. Turning to see how they fared during the flight, he realized only the man was in the helicopter. Startled he asked the man “Where’s your wife?” The man replied “Oh she fell out the first time you rolled the chopper to the right.” “My god” said the pilot, “Why didn’t you say something.” The man looked at him, smiled, and replied “Hey, ten bucks is ten bucks.”
