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: “Five dollars, 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 that would be approximately $5,400, correct?”

Man: “Correct.”

Woman: “If in one year you spend $5,400, not accounting for inflation, the past twenty 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’ve by now bought an airplane?”

Man: “Do you drink beer?”

Woman: “No.”

Man: “Where’s your airplane?”
