    Critical Thinking!!!!

    Critical Thinking At Its Best!


    Woman:
    Do you drink beer?
    Man: Yes

    Woman:
    How many beers a day?

    Man:
    Usually about 3

    Woman:
    How much do you pay per beer?

    Man: $5.00 which includes a tip

    (This is where it gets scary!)

    Woman:
    And how long have you been drinking?

    Man:
    About 20 years, I suppose

    Woman:
    So a beer costs $5 and you have 3 beers a day which puts your spending each month at $450.
    In one year, it would be approximately $5,400 …correct?

    Man:
    Correct

    Woman:
    If in 1 year you spend $5,400, not accounting for inflation, the past
    20 years puts your spending at $108,000, correct?

    Man:
    Correct

    Woman:
    Do you know that if you didn't drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up
    Interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years,
    You could have now bought a new Ferrari?




    Man:
    Do you drink beer?

    Woman:
    No

    Where's your Ferrari?

    More Critical Thinking


    A Harley Biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a
    little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the
    collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under
    the eyes of her screaming parents.

    The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square
    on the nose with a powerful punch.

    Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and
    the biker brings the girl to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.
    A reporter has watched the whole event.

    The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most
    gallant and bravest thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'

    The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really. The lion was
    behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.'

    The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a
    journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front
    page. So, what do you do for a living, and what political affiliation do
    you have?'

    The biker replies "I'm a U.S. Marine, and a Republican".

    The journalist leaves.

    The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings
    news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:

    U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH

    ...... and THAT pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news
    these days.
