new plan for investing

Post by :FI:IceFrog » Wed Oct 15, 2008 5:45 pm

this was emailed to me

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 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 a $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.
It is called the 401-Keg.
AND
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 one proud to be an American :beer:

Yeah.

I just found out:
In Oman, at times, you can get large quantities of sand.

Defense is the name, attack is the game

That's what we say.
