Critical Thinking

[Pterodactyl]

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.

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:

No.

Man:

Where's your Ferrari?

I've spent a small fortune on bikes, booze, and broads.

The rest... I just wasted.

But then, the old ones are often the best.

This joke always reminds me (not just of the last couple times I heard it) of the financial discussion the newlyweds had after about 6 months of marital bliss.

She: You spend too much on beer.

He: You spend too much on makeup and hair styling.

She: That is so I will be attractive to you.

He: The beer is already doing that.

Men and women simply do not think the same way when it comes to finances.

One day my wife told me we couldn't afford beer anymore and I'd have to quit drinking.
Then I caught her spending $65 on make-up.

I asked her,"How come I have to give up stuff and you don't?"

She said "The make-up is to make me pretty for you."

I told her "That's what the beer is for."

I don't think she's coming back.

Yep. I had this joked taped in the top of my tool box for the past 9 years.

Guess I don't get out enough.

Truly, what difference does it really make if a joke has been shared before? I do not generally go digging through old joke threads to resurrect old jokes. I appreciate anyone trying to add a little laughter and happiness to my otherwise bleak and unhappy existence.

"...to my otherwise bleak and unhappy existence."

You need a bike with color.

This is about the only opportunity I get to prove my memory isn't completely shot.

Now, what were we talking about? Oh, yes, "I see Radley has brought out another handbag ...".

Not taking a shot at you my friend. You point out the re-runs but you do not ridicule or criticize. I simply meant that some jokes are meant to be retold and that any effort to provide happiness is appreciated.

No offence taken in any way (hey, I've been on this forum for nearly 10 years, if I took offence ....).
Frequent repeats, or a repeat after a short interval always reminds me of this one:

A man goes to prison and the first night while he's laying in bed contemplating his situation, he hears someone yell out, "44!" Followed by laughter from the other prisoners.He thought that was pretty odd, then he heard someone else yell out, "72!" Followed by even more laughter.

"What's going on?" he asked his cellmate.

"Well, we've all heard every joke so many times, we've given them each a number to make it easier."

"Oh," he says, "can I try?"

"Sure, go ahead."

So, he yells out "102!" and the place is dead quiet save for a few groans. Confused, he looks at his cellmate who is just shaking his head.

"Hey, what happened?"

"Well, some people can tell a joke, some people can't."

There are several other endings around.

He'd just drop it.

I remember that joke from an "Alley Oop cartoon.
