Proud to be...

I found this funny little tidbit somewhere on the interwebs ... great logic going on here:

If you purchased $1000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you have $49.00 today. If you had purchased $1000 of shares in AIG one year ago you would have $33.00 today. If you purchased $1000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago you have $0.00 today.

But if you had purchased $1000 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!
