conversation-between-a-man-and-a-woman.txt This is a conversation between a man and a woman. Please note: she asks five or six questions, each of which which he answers quite simply. But then she is speechless after answering only one question. Here goes: 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, if you say so. 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 again. 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's your airplane? >>>> I JUST POST THEM - I DON'T NECESSARILY CONCUR - DRW <<<< http://www.woodsmall.com/ = Woodsmall's MAIN Web Page c 1987 - 2017
