A Lighthearted Memory Test That Ends with a Hilarious Twist!
Sometimes, the funniest moments come from the simplest questions — especially when memory is involved!
Picture this: A calm and friendly doctor is doing a routine memory check-up with three older gentlemen. It’s nothing serious, just a few simple questions to test how sharp their thinking is.
To begin, the doctor asks a very basic math question — the kind we all learn in elementary school:
“What is three times three?”
The first man responds quickly and confidently:
“274.”
The doctor, staying professional, doesn’t react — but you can imagine his surprise.
He turns to the second man and repeats the question:
“Three times three equals…?”
This man thinks carefully, then replies:
“Tuesday.”
Now the doctor is probably doing his best to keep a straight face. The answers are getting more and more… creative!
Finally, the doctor asks the third man:
“Three times three is what?”
This man smiles and answers correctly:
“Nine.”
Relieved, the doctor congratulates him.
“That’s wonderful! How did you come up with the answer?”
The third man shrugs and delivers the punchline with perfect timing:
“Easy. I just subtracted 274 from Tuesday.”
And that’s the joke!
It’s a lighthearted reminder that our brains can come up with unexpected answers — and that laughter truly is the best medicine. Sometimes, humor lies not in the question or the answer, but in the way we get there.
