*Male Reasoning*
This is a conversation between a man and a woman.
Please note that she asked five or six questions, which he answered quite
simply, but then she was speechless after answering only one question.
Woman: “Do you drink beer?”
Man: “Yes.”
Woman: “How many beers a day?”
Man: “Usually about three.”
Woman: “How much do you pay per beer?”
Man: “Five dollars, which includes a tip.” (This is where it gets scary!)
Woman: “And how long have you been drinking?”
Man: “About 20 years, I suppose.”
Woman: “So a beer costs $5 and you have three beers a day, which puts
your spending each month at $450. In one year that would be approximately
$5,400, correct?”
Man: “Correct.”
Woman: “If in one year you spend $5,400, not accounting for inflation,
the past twenty years puts your spending at $108,000, correct?”
Man: “Correct.”
Woman: “Do you know that if you didn’t drink so much beer, that money
could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and, after
accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could’ve by now
bought an airplane?”
Man: “Do you drink beer?”
Woman: “No.”
Man: “Where’s your airplane?”
