Do You Smoke? (only when I'm on fire)

Lady: Do you smoke?

Man: Yes.

Lady: How many packs a day?

Man: I’m a pretty heavy smoker. Four packs a day.

Lady: How much per pack?

Man: Ten dollars.

Lady: And how long have you been smoking?

Man: 'Bout 15 years now.

Lady: So 1 pack costs ten dollars and you have four packs a day, which means your smoking habit is costing you $1200 each month. So in one year, it would be $14,400 correct?

Man: Yeah, I guess so.

Lady: And, if in one year you spend $14,400, not accounting for inflation, in the past fifteen years, you've spent $216,000 on buying cigarettes, correct?

Man: Sounds about right.

Lady: Do you know that if you hadn't smoked, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past fifteen years, you could have now purchased a Ferrari?

Man: Hmmm. Well, let me ask YOU a question. Do you smoke?

Lady: Absolutely not!


Man: Then where's your goddamn Ferrari?
