*Lady Interviewer: Do you drink every day?
*Man: Yes.
*Lady Interviewer: How much a day?
*Man: Around 3 six-packs, starting at noon.
*Lady Interviewer: How much does a 6-pack cost?
*Man: Roughly $10.00 at a deli.
*Lady Interviewer: And how long have you been drinking like that?
*Man: 15 years.
*Lady Interviewer: So with a six-pack costing $10.00, and you consuming 3 six-packs a day, you are spending roughly $900 each month. In one year, you would then be spending $10,800, correct?
*Man: Correct.
*Lady Interviewer: If in 1 year you spend $10,800 on beer, not accounting for inflation, 15 years puts your spending roughly $162,000; correct?
*Man: Correct.
*Lady Interviewer: Did it ever occur to you that if you did not drink for the last 15 years, you could have bought a Porsche?
*Man: Do you drink?
*Lady Interviewer: No.
*Man: So. where’s your Porsche?
