THIS  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

 

 

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

 

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?

 Years ago Kathy asked me the dreaded question. Do these pants make me look fat? I, of course, said "No". She then asked, "Are you saying that just to make me feel better?" My response was, "I would never say anything to you just to make you feel better." We both had a good laugh and the question of clothes hasn't come up since.

I've learned to never ever never asked a female when her baby's is due.
