Three elderly men went to the doctor’s office for a memory test. The doctor looked at the first man and asked, “What’s three times three?”
“274,” the man answered confidently. The doctor groaned, glanced at the ceiling, and moved on.
“Your turn,” he said to the second man. “What’s three times three?”
“Tuesday,” the second man replied instantly. The doctor shook his head in disbelief and turned to the third man.
“Alright, let’s see how you do. What’s three times three?”
“Nine,” the third man said. The doctor’s face lit up. “Correct! How did you get that?”
“Simple,” the third man said with a smile. “I just subtracted 274 from Tuesday.”
