THIS A CONVERSATION BETWEEN A MAN AND HIS WIFE. PLEASE NOTE THAT SHE ASKS FIVE OR SIX QUESTIONS WHICH HE ANSWERED QUITE SIMPLY,
BUT THEN SHE IS SPEECHLESS AFTER ANSWERING ONLY ONE QUESTION. I BET THIS HAPPENS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT TO MOST HUSBANDS OUT THERE:
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: $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?

Funny, but...
5 dollars a beer is the reason I don't drink at bars or restaurants, but with friends at BBQ's, etc. It use to be a 400% mark up on alcohol when I was a bartender for 20 years, but it is easily 500% today, even more with some wines. Add 9% tax and then 20% tip, drinking out is just a huge waste of money. Just like the movie industry, the increase of prices are out of control! I am glad to see the box office is at an all time low. A lot of restaurants are doing well either. Both blame millennials, but I think it is the prices.
She sounds like a snotty liberal anyway.
Based on what I drink, my wife should have 2 planes and a hanger by now.
$1.33 for a corona light from the store
She should have left you by now. Lol
Sux to be poor...
Did she fly into a rage?
504, unless you know a local bartender!!
Which many of us do know!
I enjoy drinking with me friends BUT there ain't no way I'm paying 5 buck for a beer. I buy a case of beer and my buddys come over and we kick back in my garage and have a good time drinking and telling lies and shooting the shit. The women leave us alone and we have a great time.
Some would consider this some form of microaggression. Tough luck.
Airplanes can be had for $6-30k for a little aged one, just as fun. So, drink cheaper beer and buy the airplane, too! Chances are the wife is so expensive, the airplane is out of the question no matter how much beer you drink!
Mine left 18 years ago, and I love flying my plane!
