Bert's Joke of the Month
Male logic... flawless

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 (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, it would be approximately $5400 correct?
Man : Correct
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
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 is your airplane?
