The Conversation

This a conversation between a husband and wife.  Please note that she asks five or six questions which he answered quite simply, but then she is speechless after answering only one question.

 
l bet this happens more often than not to most husbands out there:
Wife: Do you drink beer?
Husband: Yes


Wife: How many beers a day?
Husband: Usually about three.

 
Wife: How much do you pay per beer?
Husband: $5.00 which includes a tip (this is where it gets scary!)

 
Wife: And how long have you been drinking?
Husband: About 20 years, I suppose.


Wife: 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?
Husband: Correct

 
Wife: If in 1 year you spend $5400, not accounting for inflation, the past 20 years puts your spending at $108,000 correct?
Husband: Correct

 
Wife: 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?

 
Husband: Do you drink beer?

Wife: No
 
Husband: Where is your airplane?

Wife:


Wondering if this husband is still alive and in one piece!  😭

  5. Sorry, but my vote goes to the husband in this little story. "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
