[Vision2020] Time for a joke...

[Carl Westberg]

In light of, uh, recent events on V2020, time for a joke.  Only slightly in 
bad taste.  "Morris and his wife, Esther, went to the state fair every year, 
and 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."  One year Esther and 
Morris went to the fair, and Morris said "Esther, I'm 85 years old.  If I 
don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance."  Esther 
replied, "I know, Morris, but that helicopter ride is 50 dollars and 50 
dollars is 50 dollars."  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 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 trick over and over again, but still not a word.  When 
they landed, the pilot turned to Morris and 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."                                                      
                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                                   Carl
