Male Logic

Critical Thinking
At Its Best!
 
Woman: 
Do you drink beer
?
Man: Yes
 
Woman: 
How many beers a day?
 
Man: 
Usually about 3
 
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 $5.00 and you have 3 beers a day which
 puts your spending each month at $450.00.  In one year
it would be approximately $5400.00 correct?
 
Man: 
Correct
 
Woman: 
If in 1 year you spend $5400.00, not accounting for inflation, the past 20 years puts your spending at $108,000.00 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 a
   Ferrari?
 
Man: 
Do you drink beer?
 
Woman: 
N
o.
 
Man: 
Where's your Ferrari?
