State Fair time
It is getting to be State Fair time and I was just remembering what a wonderful time we had with ElsMarStel. I wish we could do it again with you two but this year we go by ourselves. Anyway, here is a joke I got in my email today from my gf. I tried to send it to you but it got returned. Enjoy!!!!
MORRIS AND HIS WIFE ESTHER WENT TO
THE STATE FAIR EVERY YEAR.
EVERY YEAR, MORRIS WOULD SAY,
“ESTHER, I ‘D LIKE TO RIDE IN THAT
HELICOPTER.”
ESTHER ALWAYS REPLIED,
” I KNOW MORRIS, BUT THAT HELICOPTER RIDE
IS 50 DOLLARS AND 50 DOLLARS IS 50 DOLLARS.”
A FEW YEARS LATER, ESTHER AND MORRIS WENT TO THE FAIR.
MORRIS SAID, “ESTHER, I’M 85 YEARS OLD.
IF I DON’T RIDE THAT HELICOPTER NOW,
I MIGHT NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE.”
ESTHER REPLIED, “MORRIS,
THAT HELICOPTER IS 50 DOLLARS AND 50 DOLLARS
IS 50 DOLLARS.”
THE PILOT OVERHEARD THE COUPLE. HE 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 50 DOLLARS.”
MORRIS AND ESTHER 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.
HE SAID, “BY GOLLY, I DID EVERYTHING I COULD TO GET YOU
TO YELL OUT, BUT YOU DIDN’T. I’M IMPRESSED!”
MORRIS REPLIED, “WELL, I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING
WHEN ESTHER FELL OUT,
BUT 50 DOLLARS IS 50 DOLLARS”.

There is just something very special about the state fair. The sun, heat, rain, dust, smell… that wonderful smell. One of my favoriet memories from the state fair, late one night just when most people were leaving, we hurried and got a bucket of Marthas cookies. A couple of police officers were sitting close by so we went over and gave them a few cookies.
