In this humorous short story, three elderly men visit the doctor for a memory test. When asked “What is three times three?”, the first man responds with “274,” and the second man answers “Tuesday,” showing their confusion and impaired memory. However, the third man confidently replies, “Nine,” indicating he is still mentally sharp. The punchline emphasizes the contrast between the third man’s clear answer and the others’ humorous, incorrect responses.
