Three elderly men visit the doctor for a memory test. The doctor asks the first man, “What is three times three?”
“274,” the first man confidently replies.
The doctor, puzzled, turns to the second man and asks, “It’s your turn. What is three times three?”
“Tuesday,” the second man answers without hesitation.
Shaking his head, the doctor looks at the third man and says, “Okay, your turn. What is three times three?”
The third man thinks for a moment and finally says, “Nine!”
The doctor, relieved, exclaims, “That’s correct! How did you figure it out?”
The third man proudly grins and says, “Easy! I just subtracted 274 from Tuesday!”
The doctor sighs and realizes that while one of them got the right answer, all three may still need a follow-up appointment!
