This a conversation between a man and his 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:

Man: How many beers do you drink?
Woman: I don't drink any.

Man: Then where is your plane?

My answer to my wife would be:How many beers do you drink babe?
Her: I don't drink any
Me: Then where is your plane?
:drum

A simple thank you would have been enough for the morning coffee without all that "how did you get in here" nonsense.

That is the classic quandry about saving for retirement, and enjoying life now......How much do you spend/save,
do it now, wait, dang if I was a half-wit millennial I wouldn't have to worry, I would just mooch off my parents until they die......

Sure He could have saved money, but just think about all the beer, and football games, and time with friends, drunken stories, nevermind the people that work at the brewery, the beer distributors, bar owners,
see by having those beers instead of being a miser, He has enriched the lives of so many others, and isn't that the point? You cannot take money with you.....

If Donald Trump would have invested the money his father gave him, He would still have less than he does now, and would had had to live a normal middle class boring existence like the rest of us for the last 40 years, what fun is that!

Did you ever think of how much money you spend because you are married?

Or how much money you spend on Gas and a car just so you can go to work and pay taxes?


:realcrazy :realcrazy
