THIS IS A CONVERSATION BETWEEN A MAN AND HIS WIFE.


PLEASE NOTE THAT SHE ASKS SEVEN QUESTIONS, WHICH HE ANSWERS QUITE SIMPLY.
BUT THEN SHE IS SPEECHLESS AFTER ANSWERING ONLY ONE QUESTION FROM HIM


I BET THIS HAPPENS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT TO MOST HUSBANDS OUT THERE:


WOMAN:

YOU DRINK BEER?


MAN: YES


WOMAN: HOW MANY BEERS A DAY?


MAN: USUALLY ABOUT THREE


WOMAN: HOW MUCH DO YOU PAY PER BEER?


MAN: $5.00 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, IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $5400 CORRECT?


MAN: CORRECT


WOMAN: IF IN 1 YEAR YOU SPEND $5400, NOT ACCOUNTING FOR INFLATION,
THE PAST 20 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 HAVE NOW BOUGHT AN AIRPLANE?


MAN: DO YOU DRINK BEER?


WOMAN: NO.


MAN: WHERE IS YOUR AIRPLANE?
