NCR ~ Thursday Humor, May 12th... 
.

This is a conversation between a man and his wife. Please note that
she asks 5 or 6 questions which he answered quite simply and she
is speechless after answering only one question. I’ll bet this happens
more often than not to most husbands out there - just saying.
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 $5,400.00 correct?
Man: Correct.
Woman: If in 1 year you spend $5,400.00, 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, all 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: No.
Man: Where's your Ferrari?
