INVESTMENTS!!!!

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 and 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

I shudder to wonder what I get per gallon, because I don’t, er, um, walk very much.
Yeah, that’s it.

...Well, not American just yet... but working on it! Been back in the country for a month, living in NYC.

And as an Aussie living in NYC without a car, I’d say that miles-per-gallon ratio might be a trifle low... LOL. :)
