I used a variation of this in grade school, when my teacher said that if you don't smoke, you could afford either *two* color televisions, or 6 trips to Disneyland, per year.
After I asked him how many TV sets he owned, and how many trips to Disneyland he took per year, I spent the rest of that day in the principal's office.
I eventually learned to quite like it there. Something about being a "wise#$@"?

I like beer better than Ferraris anyway.

If you buy your beer on sale, you could afford a taxi ride. (maybe)

A Ferrari has no trunk for a keg, so what's the point of owning one? It also has minimal ground clearance, which makes it useless on the bumpy road to Bubba's house.

Man says to the woman, " You're talking just like my ex-wife,"
Woman says, " I didn't know you were married before."
Man says, " I haven't been".

At 5% steady for 20 years you'd have a little over 190k. In reality over the last 20 years it'd varied from 1% to 10% give or take; maybe it would have worked out to similar end. And maybe you can get a new Ferrari for that, maybe.

Of course it doesn't work. Everyone know strange women are no older than 39 at most.

The correct answer from the woman: It's in an underground garage at my rich boyfriend's house.

cindy, the true answer is probably "the Ferrari is in my closet. I call them shoes."
*ducks*

She didn't have the money to waste on spending it for beer anyway so she probably didn't have the money for the ferrari either. Some of us are just plain poor.

Sometimes being helpful really doesn't help at all.

The correct answer is: "My driver keeps it at his place."
