- man: "Yep!"
- Woman: "How many beers do you drink a day?"
- man: "Three"
- woman: "How much do you pay for each?"
- man: "5 euros, tip included"
- woman: "How long have you been drinking?"
- man: "Ehm ... more or less for 25 years"
- Woman: "So, if each beer costs you 5 euros, and you drink 3 a day, it means you spend 450 euros a month, which is about 5,400 euros in a year.
- man: "Right"
-Women: "If you spend 5,400 euros in a year, without considering inflation, you have spent 135,000 euros over the last 25 years.
- man: "Right"
- Woman: "You are aware of the fact that if you did not drink beer, that money could have made you profit, maybe in some bank that would generate interest, and after accounting for the compound interest of the last 25 years, you could have bought a plane?
- man: "Do you drink beer?"
- woman: "No"
- man: "Where's your plane?"
