Fetzervalve Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you will have $49.00 today. If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you will have $33.00 today. If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will have $0.00 today. But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you will have received a $214.00. Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg. Also, recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon. Makes you proud to be an American.
Fetzervalve Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Posted October 7, 2008 Perhaps I should turn in the cans' date=' instead of paying the town to take them away. I think I may live in the wrong state.[/quote']The math on that one may not be exactly correct, in Iowa we can get a nickel for taking a can back to the store, but we had to give them the same nickel when we bought it, but that's still a better return than Lehman Bros!
