Thought for the day with a nod to Agent 69:
If you purchased $1,000 of Delta Airlines stock 1 year ago, you would have $49.00 today.
If you purchased $1,000 of AIG stock one year ago, you would have $33.00 today.
If you purchased $1,000 of Lehman Brothers stock 1 year ago, you would have $0.00 today.
But, if you purchased $1,000 worth of beer 1 year ago, drank all the beer, returned the aluminum cans for a recycling refund, you would have $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily and recycle.
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!

Glad to hear that what I practiced in college (drinking and recycling...the recycling to buy more booze) had paid off. Keep blogging. - Diane Lain (see what I did there? hee hee)
Dumpster diving is even better. You don't spend money buying the cans in the first place. Your only investment is time, which we all have plenty of.
