41 MILES TO THE GALLON - THE 401 KEG PLAN

My wife sent me this today so I can't vouch for the accuracy (boy, that didn't sound right and I'm going to be in trouble) but what the heck, it makes for a good read.

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 & 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!!

  2. Hey Ros!

    I don't know about wine. I'll have to do some math and go down to the liquor store to consult with my investment advisor.
