START DRINKING HEAVILY!

If you bought $1000 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.

If you bought $1000 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, and traded in the cans for the nickel deposit, you would have $79.

My advice to you is to start drinking heavily

I'll drink to that!! Hic!!

Budweiser? Bah. Try some Arrogant Bastard Ale

I can't be a heavy drinker...I drink light beer!

Two points:

1) I think it's more like $700 of Nortel stock (rather than $1000):

2) If, instead of Budweiser, you'd bought $650 of the 1997 Antinori Bolgheri Guado al Tasso Tenuta Belvedere, it'd be worth about $1000 today.

You mean we have to drink that crap?

Drink like a revolutionary.

As W.C. Fields once said, "A man has to believe in something... and I believe I'll have a drink!"

That just means you have to drink twice as much.
