Investment advice
« on: January 20, 2011, 12:52:59 PM »
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!

If I drank 22 gallons of alcohol per year, that 41 miles of walking would be back n' forth to the restroom!  :o

That's my theory on why doctors tell you to drink 120 oz's (or whatever it is) of water per day... It's NOT all the water that's good for you, it's all the extra exercise you get running to the restroom all day that's good for you!

:D
Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash and I'm delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever.
