Fun with investing

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 
$214.00. Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink 
heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg. 
 
A 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!
