What’s Three Times Three?

In this humorous short story, three elderly men visit the doctor for a memory test.

Three elderly men are at the doctor’s office for an intelligence test.

The doctor asks the first man, “What is three times three?”

“274,” he replies.

The doctor asks the second man, “What is three times three?”

“Tuesday,” replies the second man.

The doctor says to the third man, “Okay, your turn. What’s three times three?”

“Nine,” says the third man.

“That’s great!” says the doctor.

“How did you get that?”

“Simple,” says the third man. “I subtracted 274 from Tuesday.”
