Holy Crap!!! I was bitching about the high price of beer at 35C @ bottle when I was in school..........
The high price of beer has always been a problem for students. Beer or food? How can you manage?
In the house where I lived, we bought an old soft drink machine and converted it to dispense beer. It was designed to dispense soft drinks for $.06. It had slots for nickels and pennies. The Penny slot was enlarged to receive a quarter and the nickel slot was logically disabled. You could insert a nickle but it did nothing but take the coin. For engineers, it was a piece of cake.
A corporation was established with 10 stockholders. Oasis Inc stock holders and close associates bought beer for a quarter. Others paid the posted $.30’s. The machine sold beer all night and on Sunday’s. We recently gathered and someone brought one of the original hand lettered Oasis stock certificates. Down at the bottom in small print were the words. “Non Voting Shares” Our non engineer Business buddy pulled one over on us engineers.
Every Monday we went to the bar down the street an picked up our eleven cases of Budweiser long necks. The Beer had to be delivered to a bonefide retail seller but we got the best price by buying at least 11 cases.
Oasis Inc was the best investment in my life, even up till today. It paid dividends from the first week and the shares were sold on graduation for double the original price.
Nine dollars is less than the price of two beers at a Georgetown bar.
