Husband Regrets Being A Cheapskate After Taking His Wife To The Fair

There are some experiences in life that you can’t put a price tag on. And while it’s important to be responsible with your finances, there are certain experiences in life that we can share with our spouse that make every dollar we spend well worth it. After all, you only get to have this one life with the one that you love, so why not take some time to enjoy it with that person from time to time? Buddy, the elderly husband in this joke, had spent years pinching pennies while denying his wife one simple request. However, he soon came to regret his cheapskate lifestyle one fateful evening when he finally gave in and gave her what she wanted. Buddy and his wife, Edna, went to the state fair every year, and every year Edna would say, “Buddy, I’d like to ride in that helicopter.”

Buddy always replied, “I know Honey, but that helicopter ride is fifty bucks, and fifty bucks is fifty bucks.”

One year Buddy and Edna went to the fair and Edna said ,”Buddy, I’m 85 years old and if I don’t ride that helicopter I might never get another chance.”

To this, Buddy replied, “Edna, that helicopter ride is fifty bucks, and fifty bucks is fifty bucks.”

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 a penny! But if you say one word, it’s fifty dollars.”

Buddy and Edna 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 Edna and said, “By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn’t. I’m impressed.”

Edna replied, “Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Buddy fell out, but you know, fifty bucks is fifty bucks.”
